Eastern Union's Deal Flow in July Exceeds Year's Highest Monthly Total for Second Month in a Row

NEW YORK, Aug. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Eastern Union, one of the country's largest commercial real estate finance firms, accelerated the pace of its deal flow in July by generating 321 new loan submissions from prospective borrowers, the year's highest monthly total. Loan submissions represented 16 property types situated in 37 states.

This marks the second time in a row that the company had set a new monthly performance record for the year in loan submissions.

July also saw Eastern Union brokers boost the number of mortgages under application. The month's figure of 93 loans in process exceeded the June tally. The July total encompassed loans for twelve property types in sixteen states. Eastern Union is working with 44 different lenders on these transactions.

Additionally, the company's July performance included mortgage closings across ten property types in fourteen states.

Among the month's other highlights, the company closed two transactions valued in excess of $50 million each. One of the two deals was secured through Eastern Union's Multi-Family Group, a special brokerage team formed last year. Under the leadership of Michael Muller and Marc Tropp, the Multi-Family Group has closed hundreds of millions dollars' worth of transactions since its launch. 

The second pending July deal exceeding $50 million in value was secured by Eastern Union's Healthcare Group under the leadership of Nachum Soroka and Jacob Schonland. The unit services owners and operators of skilled nursing and assisted living/memory care facilities, continuing care retirement communities, and hospitals nationwide.

In addition, Eastern Union last month placed two deals under application that were each valued in excess of $70 million.

"July's strong results show that Eastern Union is well positioned to capitalize on opportunities presented by today's improving economic conditions," said Ira Zlotowitz, president and co-founder of Eastern Union. "Thanks to our extensive investments in training and technology, our brokerage team is uniquely equipped to secure financing for owners in all property types.
