Refinance Bridge Loan for Industrial Land in Woodbridge, New Jersey
$15,000,000
BridgeInvest, a direct CRE private lender, closed a $15MM loan for the refinance of a 25.6-acre industrial land assemblage in Woodbridge, NJ. At closing, the sponsor was in the process of receiving entitlements to develop an over 350,000-square-foot logistics center on the property. The loan proceeds were used to refinance the existing debt which had a near-term maturity, allowing the sponsor additional time to move forward with their development plan. BridgeInvest was able to provide a bespoke bifurcated funding structure with two advances to refinance two separate tranches of debt as required by the sponsor. We underwrote the complicated risks associated with obtaining necessary environmental and wetland permitting. Despite the development plan being only partially approved at closing, BridgeInvest was able to lend against the underlying value of the project. We underwrote and closed the transaction in 30 days to meet the sponsor’s needs with a pending maturity. This bridge loan was funded in June 2021.

The funds were used to acquire a hotel property in Atlantic City, NJ.

With cross-collateralizing the additional properties, the combined loan-to-value was just 39%, resulting in lower risk for us. Commonwealth was able to complete the transaction quickly. The loan term is 1 year with interest-only payments. The Borrower plans to refinance within 1 year to pay off our loan. This commercial property loan was funded in October 2020.
Bridge Loan for Middlesex County Landscaping Business in Edison, New Jersey
$1,300,000
In September 2020, Commonwealth Capital funded a $1,300,000 cash-out refinance bridge loan in 1st lien position for a landscaping business in Edison, New Jersey. The Borrower needed the loan proceeds to pay off IRS debt, real estate taxes, and complete environmental work. The loan was secured by the Borrower’s landscaping business and two single-family residences. The cross-collateralization of other real estate made the transaction possible to take care of all the Borrower’s needs. The business’ commercial property is located in Middlesex County, NJ. The two residential properties are located in Edison. Our loan included reserve accounts for both interest payments and the environmental work on the commercial property. The loan term was set at 2 years. The combined loan-to-value across all 3 properties was 55%.
Bridge Loan for Commercial Property Portfolio in Vineland, New Jersey
$19,000,000
Avatar Financial Group, a direct private money lending firm, funded a $19,000,000 1st lien position bridge loan to refinance a portfolio of 7 commercial properties in Vineland, New Jersey. The portfolio consisted of three hotels, three restaurants, and an office building. The Sponsor’s previous loan was set to mature within 30 days. Conventional refinancing had been unsuccessful because two flagged hotels were in need of separate multi-million dollar property improvement plans (PIPs). These PIPs had not yet been approved by either of the hotel’s franchisors nor was a contractor bid in place. In addition, the Sponsor wanted maximum flexibility with regard to deed releases in the event part of the portfolio was sold. Avatar provided a term sheet within 24 hours of the initial request and was ultimately selected over competing private lenders for our team’s proven ability to close complex loan transactions quickly and our dedication to closing this deal within the 30-day window available before the Sponsor’s existing loan matured. With many moving parts, a tight timeline, and a number of obstacles that required creative solutions, Avatar was able to close the loan within the time frame needed and provide the Sponsor with the capital required to fund property improvement plans for the two hotels and meet all business needs. Our interest rate was 8.5% for a 36-month term and loan-to-value of 58%. The deal was brought to us by a mortgage broker to whom we paid a commission of $190,000. This CRE bridge loan was funded in September 2019.

After 6 months the debt will be serviced by cash flow from the medical business.
