OREANDA-NEWS. February 06, 2014. Prudential Mortgage Capital Company provided USD 15.8 billion in financing, and had its highest production year in 2013, driven by international growth, conventional agency loans, CMBS originations and general account volume.

The company, which exceeded its projected goal of USD 13 billion, also announced that it has as much as USD 14 billion available for financing in 2014. Prudential Mortgage Capital Company is the commercial mortgage lending business of Prudential Financial Inc. (NYSE: PRU).

The 2013 results represent a 30 percent increase from 2012’s USD 12.2 billion in financing. It includes USD 1.2 billion for new loans in Europe and Japan with USD 848 million originated by the London office in Europe; more than USD 2.2 billion in conventional agency loans, USD 913 million in CMBS loan originations and USD 9 billion in general account loans.

Also contributing to the record production was Prudential Agricultural Investments, which provided USD 740 million in agricultural loans.

“Being one of the few lenders with the ability to provide capital through a diverse platform combined with our relationships across the industry really drove last year’s record production,” said David Durning, CEO of Prudential Mortgage Capital Company. “Notably, a key driver for us in 2013 was a significant expansion in Europe and Japan thanks to a growing demand for longer term capital. Europe alone accounted for more than \\$800 million, including our first ever loan in The Netherlands. In 2014, continued international growth will be a priority along with our portfolio program in the U.S., our CMBS program and our Agency Gateway Program for multifamily properties.”
