Arixa Capital Achieves $8 Billion Milestone in Loan Originations and Revamps Leadership Team
Arixa Capital Surpasses $8 Billion in Loan Originations
In a significant achievement for the private real estate financing sector, Arixa Capital has announced that it has eclipsed the $8 billion mark in loan originations since its establishment in 2006. This milestone echoes the steady demand from builders and developers looking for reliable financial partners to fund their projects.
Arixa Capital is not only recognized as a leading alternative investment manager but also has evolved into a comprehensive institutional platform catering to both borrowers and investors throughout varying market conditions. With over 15,000 housing units financed across the nation, the firm offers a suite of short-term loans ranging from $250,000 to $75 million, effectively blending local expertise with the reliability of a extensive national lending apparatus.
Greg Hebner, Arixa Capital's CEO, emphasized the significance of this achievement by stating, "Reaching over $8 billion is a cause for celebration that shines a light on our disciplined approach and robust relationships with clients. Our borrowers depend on our execution capabilities, while our investors count on our consistency in performance. As we expand, our commitment to supplying trustful capital to our partners remains at the forefront of our strategy."
In addition to crossing the $8 billion threshold, Arixa noted a remarkable performance in 2025, with loan originations exceeding $2 billion annually. Currently, the firm is on track to exceed that rate within the ongoing year. A pivotal element contributing to this notable growth has been Arixa's vertically integrated approach, which encompasses in-house origination, underwriting, servicing, and management of construction draws. This structure not only guarantees speed and certainty for borrowers but also empowers the company to maintain rigorous credit standards and respond proactively to portfolio risks.
To further solidify its operational base, Arixa Capital is in the process of diversifying its capital sources, targeting global alternative investment managers and registered investment advisors. Recently, the firm has successfully closed its second RTL securitization and marked over 15 years of commendable performance within the Arixa Secured Income Fund. Moreover, its fund distribution strategy has been enhanced through platforms like iCapital.
Accompanying these growth strides, Arixa Capital has expanded its leadership team, appointing Brian Sakamoto as General Counsel and a member of the Executive Management team. With more than two decades of experience in the realm of real estate lending as an attorney, Sakamoto comes on board after serving in-house at PGIM's real estate debt funds division.
Jonathan Setiabrata has also joined as a Senior Vice President for Investor Relations, where he will spearhead efforts related to investor relations and capital formation. With extensive experience from firms like Pinegrove Venture Partners, SVB Capital, and J.P. Morgan, Setiabrata will bolster Arixa’s investor engagement strategies.
As traditional banks retreat from financing residential acquisitions and renovations, Arixa Capital is poised to become an essential player in the financing landscape. The company's advancements in leadership and bolstering of its capital base provide it with the necessary tools to sustain long-term partnerships with both its borrowers and its investors.
Seth Davis, President of Arixa Capital, reflected on the firm's growth strategy, stating, "Our intention has always been to scale Arixa in ways that elevate the personalized services our borrowers appreciate. The same discipline and infrastructure reassuring our investors also enhances our quality as a lending partner."
With a reputation rooted in reliability, transparency, and exceptional service, Arixa Capital's trajectory indicates an ongoing commitment to fostering enduring relationships within the real estate investment sector. As the firm continues to expand its reach from its offices in Los Angeles and Phoenix, its status as a top-tier private lender grows ever more solid.
