Madderra & Cazalot

Madderra & Cazalot is a commercial mortgage banking firm with offices in New Orleans, Louisiana and Dallas, Texas. The company was formed in early 2002 through a partnership of New Orleans-based J.M. Madderra & Company, Inc, a commercial mortgage banking firm founded in 1993, and Dallas-based Ron Cazalot. Madderra & Cazalot formally represents Prudential Mortgage Capital, Key Bank Real Estate Capital Markets and Reilly Mortgage as a correspondent on all permanent loan products offered by these lenders. Madderra & Cazalot is a very dominant player in the financing of multifamily properties in Louisiana due largely to the excellent track record compiled by Mr. Madderra and his firm. Since its inception, J.M. Madderra and now Madderra & Cazalot has closed permanent loans and equity transactions on Gulf Coast projects totaling nearly one billion dollars. In addition, Madderra & Cazalot is widely recognized in the New Orleans area as the foremost authority on the New Orleans multifamily market. Since early 2001, the company has produced “The Greater New Orleans Multi-Family Report” which tracks all major projects in the area and compiles rent, occupancy, sales and trends for each sub-market and the overall multi-family market. With the opening of the Dallas office in 2002, Madderra & Cazalot has now taken on a larger geographic focus with Texas and the surrounding states becoming central to the firm’s mission. Mr. Cazalot has resided in Texas since 1979 and has been responsible for financing permanent loans totaling over $500 million over the past five years.
