About Marabella Commercial Finance

Marabella Commercial Finance was founded in 1971, and soon after funded our first permanent mortgage origination with Safeway Stores, Inc.. In the early 1970’s Safeway Stores became one of the largest and fastest growing food retailers in the United States. The company was in an expansionary mode and was seeking additional capital for growth. Marabella Commercial Finance stepped in and met this extraordinary challenge. In response to doing such an excellent job in arranging financing, Safeway Stores allocated a total of approximately 120 stores – $98.8M in financing for Marabella Commercial Finance to complete.

Today we strive to give our clients and associates that same type of excellent service that we did for Safeway Stores. Other companies we have assisted in structuring loans for are as follows; Walgreens, CVS Caremark, 7-Eleven, Kohls, Kmart, Dillon, Carter, Hawley, Hale, Fisher Foods, Rite Aid, Payless ShoeSource, Discount Tires Stores Inc., Kragen, Checkers, Schucks, Hollywood Video, Blockbuster Video, Autozone, Blimpies,  and Jack In Box.

Through our network of Insurance Companies, Wall Street Firms, CMBS and CTL Lenders and both National / International Banks, Marabella Commercial Finance is able to arrange financing for any type of single and multi-tenant retail, industrial, office and restaurant properties. Our strong relationships with these great companies yield our clients the best rate, terms as well as dependable and responsive service in the financial market place.
