BOISE, ID—Locally based A10 Capital has received a significant follow-on investment from BlackRock and THL Credit to fuel the future growth of its loan origination platform and on-balance sheet loan portfolio. A10 CEO Jerry Dunn tells GlobeSt.com that “Having BlackRock as a key stakeholder enables A10 to broaden our product offerings and to better serve our middle-market clients.”
He adds that “In addition to our industry leading bridge loan program, A10 now offers a long-term, fixed rate loan that also remains on A10's balance sheet. This gives us the ability to provide middle-market clients access to sophisticated solutions typically only available to the largest institutional sponsors on trophy properties. ”
Dunn says he considers the additional investment to be a “validation” of the firm's business model and leadership position. “Being associated with the BlackRock family will enable A10 to continue to bring innovative solutions to our clients and fresh ideas on how middle-market commercial real estate can be financed.”
A10 will use the undisclosed investment amount of funding to further enhance its commercial mortgage products and to expand its sales and marketing activities.
“We continue to view A10 Capital as a very impressive platform in the commercial real estate lending arena,” says Ron Redmond, managing director at BlackRock, in a prepared statement. “Their full-service platform is powered by an exceptional team and the use of sophisticated technology. We are very excited to continue to be part of their success and growth.”
