Gantry
Gantry is an independent mortgage banking firm arranging commercial real estate debt and equity financing across the US.
Gantry
Gantry was founded in 1990 under the name Newmark Realty Capital, Inc. and later rebranded. The firm is headquartered in San Francisco with additional offices in eleven US markets. Its wealth origin is not disclosed, and it operates as an independent mortgage banking firm rather than a family office or asset manager. The firm arranges debt and equity financing for commercial real estate investors and developers nationwide. Asset classes covered include multifamily, office, industrial, retail, self-storage, and mixed-use properties. Gantry accesses a broad range of capital sources through longstanding correspondent lender relationships, including StanCorp Mortgage Investors, its first correspondent. Deployment structures include permanent loans, bridge loans, construction financing, and refinancing. Confirmed recent transactions include a $16 million permanent loan for Kirkland Business Center in Kirkland, Washington, and a $13.5 million permanent loan for The Pointe at Power Marketplace in Queen Creek, Arizona. Geographic coverage spans major US regions including the West Coast, Southwest, Midwest, and Northeast. Gantry’s servicing portfolio reached $10 billion for the first time in 2017. The firm expanded through acquisitions, including the purchase of Norris, Beggs & Simpson (adding Portland and Seattle) and Q10|Triad Capital Advisors (adding Kansas City and St. Louis). In 2023, Gantry opened a Texas production office, marking a continued national footprint expansion (per the firm, 2023). The firm promotes from within — Alicia Sabanero was named Director with the Los Angeles loan production team in 2024. Gantry also maintains affiliations with industry organizations such as the Mortgage Bankers Association and Urban Land Institute, and supports charitable causes including the Alzheimer's Association and the ALS Association. Gantry’s structural differentiator is its independence in a consolidating industry — the firm emphasizes an intentional approach that prioritizes relationships over transactions. By operating as a full-service mortgage banking firm integrating analysis, placement, closing, and servicing, Gantry retains control over the entire financing lifecycle and claims a personal approach that larger consolidators lack.
