LADERA RANCH, CA--(Marketwired - January 09, 2017) - Money360, the leading commercial real estate marketplace lending platform, announced today that it closed a record $35.6 million in commercial real estate loans in December 2016 -- the result of ongoing growth of the company.

"Money360 continues to gain traction in the marketplace lending industry," said Founder and CEO Evan Gentry. "Given our current trajectory, we anticipate 2017 to be a banner year with the solid performance of our platform reflecting a heightened demand on the part of both borrowers and investors in the commercial real estate space."

December's loans were for terms of between one and two years, and all were collateralized with a first-lien positions on the properties. They include:
