Gantry Adds Westcap Group, Boosting SoCal Presence

Gantry, Inc. has strengthened its Southern California presence by merging the operations of Westcap Corp into its growing platform. The combination adds more than 250 existing loans with $3.2 billion in servicing responsibilities. With this consolidation, Gantry’s servicing portfolio grows to over $23 billion.

Westcap managing director Steve Beck, EVP Steve Bridges and director Topher Van Mourick will continue their roles to ensure a smooth transition and continuity for clients.  Moving forward, Westcap’s producers will operate under the Gantry name. Founded in 1981, Westcap operates from offices in Irvine and Los Angeles.

“With Westcap joining our Gantry platform, we’re excited to expand our team in Southern California and further our mission to be the nation’s premier employee-owned commercial mortgage banking firm,” said George Mitsanas, principal and corporate president at Gantry. “This combination reflects our shared values and commitment to client service, and we’re pleased to enhance our offerings with the exceptional Westcap team.”
