19th Annual Top Lenders Survey

NREI's Ranking of the Biggest Direct Lenders and Intermediaries

Editor's note: The following rankings are based on responses to NREI's 19th annual Top Lenders Survey and reflect total dollars financed or arranged in commercial real estate during the 2009 calendar year. In light of the tumultuous conditions in the financial markets and the commercial real estate industry, several major lenders and financial intermediaries chose not to participate in the survey, most notably Bank of America and GE Capital Real Estate.
