W Financial has provided the following bridge loans which were handled by Jarret Schochet, David Heiden, Andrew Singer and TJ Randall:
• W Financial provided a $400,000 acquisition loan for the purchase of an investment condominium unit located in a full-service, luxury building on East 69th Street at Third Avenue in the Lenox Hill neighborhood of Manhattan. The borrower needed to close expeditiously and was unable to obtain bank financing quickly enough.
• A $3,500,000 bridge loan collateralized by more than six acres of mountaintop property within an exclusive gated community on Spraddle Creek Road in Vail, Colorado. The borrower plans to utilize the loan proceeds for another investment property and plans to repay the W Financial loan with either a sale of the subject property or from proceeds obtained from the refinancing or sale of another one of his commercial properties.
• A $1,500,000 bridge loan collateralized by a service station and minimart with frontage on both Alps Road and French Hill Road in Wayne, New Jersey. The borrower was motivated to close the W loan expeditiously in order to consummate a new long-term lease with a multinational oil company and to facilitate the tenant taking occupancy as soon as possible. Once the build-out is complete, the borrower plans to refinance the W loan with conventional bank financing.
• An $8,700,000 bridge loan collateralized by two properties; one located on East 61st Street on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, and the other located in the Clinton Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn. The borrower was refinancing an existing loan and plans to repay W’s loan upon the sale of one of the collateral properties.
