CHICAGO—Commercial real estate portfolio lender Mesa West Capital has just opened an office in Chicago under the direction of Matthew Snyder who has joined the firm from Wells Fargo's real estate capital markets group. This is the Los Angeles-based firm's third office, having previously opened a New York office in 2010.

Mesa West provides short-to-medium term first mortgage debt for the acquisition and refinancing of core and value add commercial real estate assets.
