RBI Private Lending Corrects Release, Confirms Top Construction Ranking and Loyalty Placement
MIAMI, Aug. 19, 2025 — A corrected company release clarifies that RBI Private Lending was ranked the 3rd Top Construction Lender in the U.S. by an industry trade publication for mortgage originators, while also placing 8th in fix-and-flip lending and 13th overall among private lenders. The same release reported a separate ranking that placed RBI 10th nationwide in lender loyalty according to a provider of private real estate lending analytics.
Correction and what changed
The company issued a correction to a sentence in the body of its announcement, noting the rankings in one paragraph had been unintentionally swapped. The corrected sentence reads without modification: Being ranked third in construction lending, eighth in fix-and-flip, and thirteenth overall by Scotsman Guide is a tremendous honor. The original sentence had inverted the construction and fix-and-flip placements. The date and city tied to the release were listed as MIAMI, Aug. 19, 2025.
Third-party rankings explained
The construction ranking comes from an industry trade magazine that publishes annual top-lender lists, an exercise it has run since 2010 to recognize mortgage professionals and firms. That publication’s private-lender lists are described in the release as a widely used industry benchmark that highlights leading originators across categories including construction lending, fix-and-flip financing, and overall private lending volume.
The loyalty ranking was produced by a company that supplies analytics and intelligence for residential private real estate lending. That provider’s monthly Private Lending Report tracks market share and proprietary lender loyalty metrics, measures customer retention patterns, and evaluates borrower experience to identify the Top 25 private lenders each month.
What the firm does
RBI Private Lending, headquartered in Florida and operating in 41 states, has been providing private money loans to real estate investors since 2015. The company offers short-term hard-money and bridge loans, fix-and-flip funding, new construction financing, and rental property lending. The firm also highlights bilingual servicing capabilities and a variety of loan programs designed to help investors move quickly on opportunities. The release included a corporate website link for more information.
Related construction finance activity in Miami
Separately, several large construction financings and loan arrangements in Miami illustrate continued capital availability for high-profile residential and mixed-use projects.
One project secured roughly $170 million in construction financing to support a 40-story ultra-luxury condominium tower in an Edgewater neighborhood site. The development is planned to include about 134 luxury condominium units, waterfront access via a planned baywalk, a resort-style pool deck, screening room, coworking spaces and other premium amenities. The financing supports land acquisition and initial development stages.
A separate, much larger financing of about $413 million was arranged for a two-tower development in a downtown neighborhood. That dual-tower complex will combine a condominium tower and a multifamily rental tower with a shared podium, totaling more than 800 residences. Project materials list extensive amenity programs for both condo and rental residents, smart-home technology in units, and design and interior teams assigned to the development. The financing covered condominium, multifamily, commercial, and parking components and was described as one of the region’s largest construction loans for the year. Closing documents noted high early sales velocity for the condominium component and an expected completion target in 2028.
Another financing transaction arranged for a 20-story apartment tower in a design district totaled about $125 million, covering construction for a project with large average unit sizes and ground-floor retail space. That loan included participation from regional banks and was placed on behalf of a developer joint venture active in urban mixed-use projects.
Market context
Taken together, the lender rankings and the separate Miami financings illustrate a construction and lending ecosystem where private and institutional capital continue to underwrite large residential and mixed-use developments. Sources tied to the financings and ranking reports framed the results as evidence of lender interest in select luxury and mixed-use projects despite ongoing market and macroeconomic headwinds. The ranking and the correction reinforce that industry lists, analytics reports, and capital transactions remain key signals for developers, investors, and borrowers navigating the current market.
Release distribution and resources
The corrected release listed the company as the source and included a link to the original content for download and reference. The release also contained a standard note about third-party content on aggregator sites that disclaims verification and endorses seeking independent advice for investment decisions.
