W Financial funded an initial draw of $6,098,357 at the closing, as the development is mid-construction and the junior participant had already closed on the deal and had been funding construction draws before bringing W into the deal. W Financial will fund additional construction draws as progress is made and verified and then expects to be repaid with the sale of the townhouses.

The borrower had no debt on the property and needed to access some of his equity. He plans to market the building for sale in the near future and then plans to repay the W Financial loan when the sale closes.
• A $1,000,000 bridge loan secured by a first mortgage on a 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo located on the 41st floor of a 42-story, 250-unit, luxury building in Murray Hill. The borrower needed the proceeds of the bridge loan by year-end for tax purposes.
