LV Lending Provides $8.3M in Financing for Congress Group’s Acquisition of Civica Center in Miami Health District

LV Lending, a leading private lender focused on bridge loans for commercial and residential investment properties and developments, has closed an $8.3 million loan for Congress Group’s acquisition of the Civica Center, a .85-acre multifamily development site located at 1050 NW 14th St. in Miami’s Health District. Congress Group, in partnership with Peakhill Equity TS, Inc., acquired the site from TCD 212 Civica FL Property LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, for $16 million. Closing for both the financing and acquisition took place on July 7th.

“LV Lending is proud to have supported Congress Group’s successful acquisition of this prime real estate,” stated Camilo Niño, CEO of LV Lending. “We look forward to collaborating with them on future ventures and seeing their exciting new development take shape.”

Congress Group has plans to transform the site into a 380-unit high-rise multifamily development. The land directly fronts the north side of the Dolphin Expressway and is a portion of a larger 1.82-acre tract that has been improved with a mixed-used retail and office building. LV Lending’s loan was used to finance the acquisition of the site while Congress Group completes the process to go vertical. A future advance has also been made available for the funding of additional pre-development costs.

The Miami Health District is home to some of the largest and most renowned hospitals and research facilities in the United States, including the University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine, Florida International University’s Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine, and Jackson Memorial Hospital.

Boston-based Congress Group is a highly experienced real estate investment and development firm having successfully acquired, developed, re-positioned and/or entitled and managed over 7 million square feet of real estate, valued at over $1.5 billion. With over 30 years of experience, Congress Group has successfully completed numerous high-profile projects across the United States comprising multifamily, office, retail, and hospitality properties. Some of its notable South Florida projects include 999 Brickell, Bentley Bay in Miami Beach, and Soho Miami.
