Christian Mathews Joins Tenn as Executive Director for Commercial Real Estate

Short-term lender Tenn has appointed Christian Mathews as its executive director for commercial real estate. The move is intended to support Tenn’s ambition to scale its commercial real estate lending.

Mathews brings over 25 years of experience in real estate finance to the role, including 17 years at RBS in senior origination and structuring positions. Most recently, he worked in private equity and private capital, advising on and arranging finance for complex real estate transactions across Europe.

According to the report, Mathews has established relationships across the real estate sector and a track record in structuring funding for residential, hospitality, and complex development projects. At Tenn, he will focus on originating and building a pipeline of commercial real estate lending opportunities, leveraging relationships with borrowers, lenders, intermediaries, and advisers, as well as developing new connections to support the business’s growth.

Tenn’s managing director, Steve O’Brien, commented on Mathews’ appointment, highlighting his experience in institutional lending and private capital, and the company’s intent to scale its platform and strengthen its position in core lending areas.

This appointment may be of interest to UK letting agents and inventory clerks monitoring developments in commercial real estate finance and the expansion of lending platforms within the sector.
