Recently it was announced in a press release that Walker & Dunlop Inc. agreed to buy Alliant Capital Ltd. and its affiliates, including Alliant Strategic Investments. Walker & Dunlop, Inc. (WD:NYSE) is a commercial real estate service and finance company focused on multifamily lending, investment management, debt brokerage, and property sales. Walker & Dunlap originates and sells multifamily loans through the Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and HUD programs.
The acquisition of Alliant is a natural extension of Walker & Dunlop’s commitment to affordable housing.
- Creates a market-leading affordable housing platform with over $16 billion of assets under management, experienced team members, and strong network of partners.
- Broadens Alliant’s product set and deepens its capital base.
- Leverages Walker & Dunlop’s industry-leading technology.
At CommonGood, we are very excited about the possibilities this acquisition brings for the development and preservation of affordable housing across the United States. In the near term, we do not anticipate changes to their organization and expect business to operate as usual. We’ve always been passionate about this investment strategy and partner; and look forward to a continued partnership with Alliant Strategic Investments as they enter this next stage.
