PHOENIX – November 06, 2026 -- Arixa Capital has originated more than $500 million in residential bridge, construction and renovation loans in Arizona, and has financed over 1,100 housing units statewide since entering the market.
Arixa finances single-family, multifamily and subdivision projects across Arizona
The private real estate lender's deals range from ground-up construction loans for custom residences to homebuilder financing for large-scale community developments. Recent financings span Phoenix, Paradise Valley, Scottsdale and Flagstaff.
President Seth Davis said there is "no substitute for being based in Arizona," adding that a local presence lets Arixa stay involved from initial funding through project completion.
Arixa cites population growth and job creation as demand drivers
The company points to Arizona's population growth and diversifying economy, with technology, advanced manufacturing and healthcare adding jobs and business investment. It says these dynamics support demand for new residential development and for renovating outdated housing stock. Its sources are the Arizona Technology Council's Q1 2026 Arizona Technology Impact Report and the Arizona Office of Economic Opportunity's 2025-2027 Projected Employment Report.
Arixa hires two executives to build out its Arizona team
Jim Sawitzke joins as Executive Vice President, Homebuilder Finance, and Vincent Dhouti as Associate Vice President, Loan Originations. Sawitzke will lead a lending program for large-scale residential and mixed-use developments that need construction expertise alongside capital.
The hires add to a platform that combines origination, underwriting, servicing and construction draw management in-house. Arixa says this structure keeps it closely involved with borrowers and supports consistent funding through the project lifecycle.
