There were a multitude of hurdles related to COVID-19 that affected both the capital markets and the ability to complete the construction of the building due to “shelter in place” and TerraCotta met each hurdle with flexibility and a smart, reasonable approach. It was my first deal with the TerraCotta team and I can’t speak highly enough about the professionalism of their team and the quality of their execution.”

Darren Cline and Bryan Cavalier have been great partners for us on the origination side and Geraldine is the best in the business on the closing side. We’ve closed tough deals with TerraCotta that would have been extremely difficult or impossible with other lenders and they’ve made it look effortless.
The Fair-Haired Dumbbell is an amazing and unique asset, and it was our pleasure to have partnered TerraCotta and Guerrilla Development on this deal.”
