Western Alliance Bancorporation has provided $77.9 million in construction financing and Low‑Income Housing Tax Credit equity for The Marvel, a 136‑unit permanent supportive‑housing development in San Francisco’s Mission District.

The financing package includes a $56.3 million tax‑exempt construction loan that will convert to a $5.6 million permanent loan, and $21.6 million of LIHTC equity. The project will serve low‑income families and formerly unhoused residents, and the groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for April 23.

The deal expands Western Alliance’s presence in the high‑growth San Francisco market and aligns with the bank’s specialty‑lending strategy, which focuses on fee income and deposit remixing from escrow and trust balances.

Western Alliance’s Q4 2025 results showed an EPS of $2.59 and revenue of $890.80 million, slightly below analyst estimates for revenue but above expectations for earnings. The bank’s net interest margin fell to 3.51% from 3.53% in Q3 2025, while its three‑year revenue growth rate remained at 11.2%.

CEO Kenneth A. Vecchione highlighted the bank’s strong performance in Q4 2025, noting record net interest income and revenues, and emphasized the company’s continued focus on specialty lending to support growth in the affordable‑housing sector.

The project is a partnership with Mission Housing Development Corporation and the Mission Economic Development Agency, and is located at 16th and Mission streets. The financing underscores Western Alliance’s commitment to supporting community development while generating stable, long‑term returns for its investors.
