Deal Overview
The borrower needed a $4,400,000 bridge loan to support the acquisition of an 8.33-acre land parcel in Homestead, Florida.
The property is planned for a workforce housing development focused on creating additional housing opportunities in the area. The purchase price is $8,092,500, with $4,000,000 contributed as developer equity.
The deal is supported by a strong equity position and an estimated land value of more than $10,000,000.
The Challenge
This deal required a flexible bridge lending structure to support the land acquisition before the next stage of development.
The borrower needed financing that could provide a path toward the future construction phase while maintaining a strong equity position.
Sky 18 Capital's Solution
Sky 18 Capital reviewed the opportunity as a 24-month bridge loan. The structure was supported by a 55% loan-to-cost position, significant developer equity, strong land value, and a defined exit strategy through a construction loan.
