Client Testimonials

“Since partnering with Avana Capital for the financing of my hotel construction projects in McDonough, Georgia, my business has seen transformative growth. Avana Capital's pivotal role in these projects contributed significantly to the local economy and community development, but also caught the attention of our County Commissioner, who personally celebrated the openings. This partnership has been instrumental in not just lifting the area and fostering community growth, but also in my own journey to expanding my portfolio to 50 properties across the U.S. Avana Capital's support has been a cornerstone of my success, embodying a true partnership that has powered both our achievements and the prosperity of the communities we serve."
Sam P.
Client Since 2008
"Since becoming clients in 2006, AVANA Capital has been an indispensable partner through every step. Their strategic financial solutions, especially during the tumultuous 2008 recession, including the refinancing of our assets, not only helped us navigate through challenging times but also set us on a path to success in the hotel industry. AVANA's expertise in construction loans contributed significantly to community growth, creating over 100 construction jobs and an additional 40 permanent positions. We are immensely grateful for their unwavering support and effective financial strategies that have been crucial to our progress and success."
Mike Desai
Client since 2006
"As a developer, I faced formidable hurdles in securing financing for a groundbreaking modular construction hotel project in Hawthorne, California. Many lenders viewed the endeavor as too risky or avant-garde. However, AVANA Capital stepped in at a pivotal juncture, offering a $60 million loan for a project whose total costs surpassed $80 million. At the time of closing with AVANA, this marked the largest hotel modular construction loan in the U.S. Their support was instrumental not only in completing the project but also in revitalizing local employment and stimulating economic growth in Hawthorne, CA. By generating numerous jobs both during and after completion, AVANA significantly contributed to community development. Their unwavering commitment to fostering innovation and driving positive impact is truly commendable. I am profoundly thankful for their partnership and eagerly anticipate future collaborations."
