The apartments were completed in 2012 and sit not far from the blimp hangar that burned in 2023.

Gantry moves mortgage team to Atrium in Irvine

Fresh off it’s deal to buy Irvine-based Westcap, Gantry has relocated its now larger team to the Atrium office campus in Irvine.

The office property at 19100-19200 Von Karman includes an open air, 10-story lobby connecting two 10-story office towers in 334,828 square feet.

Gantry’s new office space houses the firm’s commercial mortgage loan producers and corporate marketing staff.

Gantry Principal Andy Bratt said the firm’s operations “grew significantly” in 2024 after buying Westcap and its $3.2 billion loan servicing portfolio last December. The shift to a larger space will help integrate Westcap’s loan production staff with Gantry’s team.
