New York Bridge Lenders for Commercial Real Estate

Stormfield Capital recently funded a $6,750,000 1st lien position recapitalization bridge loan in the Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY. The loan was secured by a fully-stabilized mixed-use building with 11 retail and 46 residential units. The property value was estimated to be $12,000,000 and our loan-to-value was 65%. We paid off a previous loan balance of $6,500,000. The subject property was situated a block from the Nostrand Ave subway station, which is a direct line into Manhattan that offers local and express trains. The station underwent renovations in January 2020 and currently serves about 17,500 riders each weekday. The building is approximately 46,000 square feet. All units were occupied at closing. The broker earned a $56,250 commission. The loan term was set at 12 months. This CRE bridge loan was funded in January 2023.

Archway Fund, a direct private mortgage lender, provided a $3,645,000 non-recourse bridge loan secured by an industrial property in Hillburn, Rockland County, New York. The Sponsor needed to quickly cash out $2,000,000 in equity on this property to use for another investment property purchase. The subject property is ground leased to a waste management company. With 8 years remaining on the lease, Archway was comfortable with the unique nature of the property. And the loan-to-value was only 50%. We paid off the previous lender and provided the cash out funds in just 10 days. The interest rate was 6.99% Interest Only fixed. We charged an origination fee of 2 points. The loan term was set at 36 months. The Sponsor plans to pay down the loan in cash or refinance back into a bank loan. As with almost all of our deals, the Sponsor did not have to personally guarantee the loan. This bridge loan was funded in November 2019.
