The following rankings, originally published in May, are based on responses to NREI's Top Lender Survey. They reflect total dollars financed or arranged in commercial real estate in 2010. The first list includes firms financing direct loans, credit lines, CMBS and other forms of direct investment to the industry. The second list ranks financial intermediaries that arranged financing in 2010.
With this update, Wells Fargo has been removed from the intermediaries list. That's because Eastdil Secured LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Co., already appears on the intermediaries list. HFF remains the No. 1 intermediary with arranged debt, structured finance and loan sales totaling $11.9 billion in 2010. However, the No. 2 financial intermediary, CBRE Capital Markets, did not include loan sales in its figures. Had it done so, CBRE Capital Markets would have edged out HFF as the No. 1 intermediary.
Because HFF has always included loan sales in its figures and because the survey form did not ask respondents to exclude loan sales, NREI thought it only fair to keep the current rankings intact and address the loan sales issue in future surveys.
