JERSEY CITY, N.J., March 21, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Asset Based Lending, LLC ("ABL"), the premier provider of private capital to real estate investors, is pleased to announce the successful closing of its inaugural revolving securitization of residential transition loans totaling $158.333 million ("ABL 2023-RTL1" or "the Transaction"). ABL 2023-RTL1 marks the launch of ABL's securitization program and pushes the company into an exclusive tier of private lenders.
The unrated Transaction was structured with an 18-month revolving period, during which principal payoffs can be reinvested to purchase additional loans originated by ABL. The class A1 and A2 notes were placed with institutional investors, with ABL electing to retain the class M notes. The Transaction was collateralized by ABL's top producing bridge loans, a mix of "fix and flip" and ground-up construction investments.
ABL's pristine 14-year reputation among the private capital industry and the credibility brought by its leadership team, led by Wall Street veteran Kevin Rodman-CEO, resulted in a successful inaugural securitization.
"ABL's mission is to make good loans. Since 2010, we carefully built a team that believed in that mission and could execute," said Rodman. "14 years later, ABL is celebrating this monumental achievement thanks to the talent and efforts of everyone that has contributed to our company. I'm incredibly proud of what we've accomplished, and we're just getting started," he added.
In addition to ABL 2023 RTL-1, ABL celebrated several milestones in 2023. The company exceeded $2 billion in total loan origination, closing the year with its largest annual lending effort to date. In addition, the company doubled in size, with a heavy investment into technology and the buildout of their proprietary borrower portal launching in 2024. The company is poised for growth as they continue their westward expansion, which is currently in 36 states.
Nomura Securities International, Inc. ("Nomura") was the sole structuring agent of the deal. Nomura and Atlas SP Securities, a division of Apollo Global Securities, LLC were co-lead managers and joint bookrunners on the transaction.
