The FDIC, acting as the receiver for Signature Bridge Bank, announced on Wednesday that it has completed the final transaction of a $33-billion commercial real estate portfolio. Santander Bank has acquired a 20% equity interest in a $9-billion portfolio of rent-stabilized/rent-controlled multifamily loans.

SBNA Investor LLC, controlled by Santander directly, paid $1.1 billion for its stake in SIG RCRS A/B MF 2023 Venture LLC , which is fully owned by the FDIC–Receiver. The venture will be majority-owned by the FDIC–Receiver with an 80% equity interest.

According to Ana Botín, executive chair of Banco Santander: “This transaction highlights our strength and expertise in this sector as we are already a major player in U.S. multifamily space.”

A team from Newmark led by Doug Harmon and Adam Spies acted as financial advisor for the FDIC .
