SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 13, 2026 – Top California Lender, kicks off 2026 with new investor capital and $25.9 million in loan closings, reinforcing national growth and plans for a Texas branch office.
Strengthening Capital Position
The addition of new investors strengthens the firm’s capital position. It enhances its capacity to fund a growing pipeline of commercial real estate transactions across multiple markets.
On Monday, Jan. 12, 2026, Top California Lender closed the following transactions:
A $13 million acquisition loan for a Class A office property in the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex. This supports a value-add business plan in a major employment center.
A $9 million acquisition loan for an industrial property near the Port of Houston. This property is positioned to serve logistics and distribution demand.
A $3.9 million bridge loan for a value-add multifamily acquisition in a suburban Atlanta, Georgia, submarket. This facilitates renovations and lease-up prior to permanent financing.
“These transactions reflect consistent execution across multiple asset types and markets,” says Jerry Dean, CEO of Top California Lender.
“The ability to close nearly $26 million in one day demonstrates the strength of our capital base, underwriting discipline, and operational platform.”
