Gantry’s Northeast Production Team secures $34.65m in financing

Buffalo, NY Gantry, the largest independent commercial mortgage banking firm in the U.S., has secured a total of $34.65 million of commercial mortgage finance on behalf of three unique assets.

Gantry’s Tom Grzebinski, senior director, and Jack Stelianou, associate, with the firm’s local production office, worked with the individual borrowers to arrange financing for each transaction through various lending sources.

In these transactions, we were able identify unique funding solutions for each property that met both lender and borrower priorities in a best outcome scenario for both parties. The win-win is a hallmark of the Gantry common ground approach.”
