Sabal Commercial Real Estate Bridge Lending provides owners and investors with non-recourse loans ranging from $3 – $15 million for value-add opportunities and properties in transition across all income-producing commercial sectors. Sabal plans to grow its finance offerings to meet market demand and fast-emerging business development opportunities.
In support of these operations, Crandall will oversee all underwriting of proposed financing transactions, and support the expeditious approval processes and "speed to close" for which Sabal has gained recognition.
"Patrick's role is integral as we continue scaling up our lending offerings without sacrificing the credit standards that have thus far ensured our success," said Jackson.
Prior to joining Sabal, Crandall was senior managing director at Cushman & Wakefield, leading the firm's debt, equity and structured finance team on the West Coast. His responsibilities included arranging debt and equity financing for institutional and middle-market commercial real estate investors as well as advising clients on structuring senior and mezzanine debt.
Crandall previously was head of origination for CIBC World Markets in the Western region. Crandall's role emphasized the origination of floating rate bridge financing and expanding the firm's network of brokers and principals as well on the West Coast. Crandall also served on the credit committee at Fremont Investment & Loan as Vice President, to later open and manage a new originations office in New York responsible for $3 billion in new commercial real estate loans.
