Worth Avenue Capital closes a $1 million loan

Bridgeport, CT Worth Avenue Capital, LLC (WAC) closed a $1 million loan to a real estate development group on a prime location in Fairfield County. This loan was funded as a “follow on” debt placement on a $3.5 million loan that was funded by a syndication of WAC’s investors in February. This new loan was funded by one of WAC’s private investors and the loan is secured by an additional mortgage on the sixteen acre parcel.

WAC's new bridge loan was funded in less than two weeks and the borrower expects to pay off all of WAC's bridge financing within the next several months by obtaining more permanent construction financing from either a large regional bank or a non bank lender"

The news is full of “never before” pronouncements. Never before has there been a pandemic so impactful on real estate.
