PHOENIX, Nov. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Arixa Capital (“Arixa”), a leading private real estate lender, announced that it has originated more than $500 million in residential bridge, construction, and renovation loans across Arizona, reflecting the firm’s expansion and long-term commitment to the state.

“There’s no substitute for being based in Arizona and experiencing the growth firsthand,” said Seth Davis, President of Arixa Capital. “By being on the ground, we can stay involved from initial funding through project completion, helping our clients navigate challenges and move projects forward.”

Since entering Arizona, Arixa has financed more than 1,100 housing units statewide across single family, multifamily, and subdivision projects. Recent financings have ranged from ground-up construction loans for custom residences to homebuilder financing for large-scale community developments in markets such as Phoenix, Paradise Valley, Scottsdale, and Flagstaff, demonstrating Arixa’s ability to provide capital solutions across multiple residential strategies.

Arizona’s real estate markets continue to benefit from population growth and a diversifying economy. Key sectors including technology, advanced manufacturing, and healthcare are contributing to job creation and business investment throughout the state, further strengthening its economic landscape. These dynamics support demand for both new residential development and the renovation of outdated housing stock statewide. ^1,2

Considering the growth in Arizona, the firm is expanding its local team, recently welcoming Jim Sawitzke, Executive Vice President, Homebuilder Finance, and Vincent Dhouti, Associate Vice President, Loan Originations. Sawitzke will lead Arixa’s homebuilder finance business, a specialized lending program for large-scale residential and mixed-use developments in need of sophisticated capital solutions and construction expertise. Their additions strengthen Arixa’s integrated lending platform, which combines origination, underwriting, servicing, and construction draw management under one roof. This integrated approach is designed to help Arixa stay closely involved with its client base, providing consistent service and reliable funding throughout the project lifecycle.

“Successful homebuilders need a dependable financing partner that understands the unique dynamics of residential development,” said Jim Sawitzke, Executive Vice President, Homebuilder Finance. “With our experienced team, we are well positioned to support homebuilders throughout Arizona, a market that continues to offer attractive opportunities for residential development.”
