Oak Street will become a subsidiary of Bridge and Oak Street President Rick Dennen will report to Bridge CEO Randy Abrahams, Bridge announced today.
Bridge, which offers a number of loan products, said it considered Oak Street a strategic fit.
Last summer, Oak Street received commitments for as much as $260 million in loans to fund its growth.
Oak Street funding is not to be confused with Oak Street Mortgage.
