TMC Financing is Coming to Oakland

As of January 1st, TMC Financing will occupy 8,700 SF with 33 employees at 1720 Broadway, just above the 19th Street BART station.  TMC Financing provides commercial real estate loans with as little as 10% down to small businesses in California and Nevada, mainly through the U.S. Small Business Administration. Founded in 1981, TMC is the largest provider of SBA 504 commercial real estate financing in the Bay Area (and all of Northern California). TMC consistently ranks among the top certified development companies nationwide, and has funded projects worth more than $8 billion across California and Nevada. Nearly 5,000 businesses have benefited from this financing, resulting in the creation of an estimated 48,500 jobs. In 2015, TMC became the largest SBA 504 hotel lender in the Western United States.

“We’re looking forward to moving to the new and vibrant uptown area of Oakland,” says TMC Founder and President Barbara Morrison. “It reminds me of our early days in San Francisco, South of Market before the transformation, and we watched it spring to life around our office. Oakland has a bright future and we’re excited to be a part of it.”

The Hive Adds Another Culinary Treat to Uptown

Recently, The Hive added another great culinary treat: Firebrand Artisan Breads (along with recently added Drake's Dealership & Calavera).  



According to The Hive, Firebrand is "your daily source for fresh artisan breads... the only wood-fire, brick oven bakery in the Bay Area." (Made with wild yeast starters.)

Berkeleyside reported "The wholesale bakery moved its operations from West Oakland to a 4,800-square-foot space in the Uptown neighborhood and opened its first retail outlet, which sells breads, pastries and sandwiches." 

Keeping with The Hive's theme of supporting local, Firebrand will also be offering coffee from Oakland's Highwire Coffee Roasters, says SFGate.
