NEW YORK CITY—Most platforms focus on larger deals and have typically avoided the $1-million to $10-million range of opportunities, believing there is more risk involved and higher underwriting costs. Adam Petriella, EVP of capital markets at Coldwell Banker Commercial Alliance, takes a closer look at Sutherland's REIT platform and at coordinating the various entities to deliver services to the entrepreneurial commercial real estate investor and owner-user.
GlobeSt.com: Sutherland was formed in 2009 to acquire RMBS and ABS and more recently, seems to be focused on small-balance commercial loans. Tell us how the platform evolved in the interim.
Adam Petriella: Since 2008 through Sept. 30, 2014, our manager (Waterfall AM) has reviewed approximately 169,600 performing, sub-performing and non-performing Small Balance Commercial and SBA loans, priced approximately 85,00 of these loans and acquired more than 6,500 SBC and SBA loans with aggregate unpaid balance of approximately $2.0 billion for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.3 billion. Our manager has also acquired more than $225 million in UPB of SBC ABS notes over this time period.
