Newly constructed mixed-use multifamily community with street-level retail, loft-style units and courtyard homes
MIAMI, August 23, 2025
A series of real estate financings totaling $569 million closed, led by a $110 million bridge take-out for a newly built 277-unit mixed-use development in Charleston and two 35-year fixed-rate HUD 223(f) refinances: $49.7 million for Elements Apartments in Santa Maria, CA (167 units) and $48.3 million for The Plaza at Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs, CO (215 units). The HUD loans provide long-term capital stability and GreenPoint Rated Silver certifications were noted. Proceeds will refinance construction and existing debt, fund reserves and transaction costs. The financing platform highlighted a broad lending and servicing portfolio and recent seniors housing activity.
A finance group and its affiliated REIT completed $569 million in real estate loans in July, led by a $110 million bridge loan to refinance a newly built mixed‑use development in Charleston, South Carolina, and two long‑term federal HUD loans that refinanced apartment communities in California and Colorado.
The July closings included a construction take‑out / bridge facility for LC Line and Low in Charleston, a 35‑year fixed‑rate HUD 223(f) refinance of Elements Apartments in Santa Maria, California, and a 35‑year fixed‑rate HUD 223(f) refinance of The Plaza at Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Together these loans account for a majority of the month’s activity by the firms.
An affiliate REIT provided a $110 million bridge loan to refinance LC Line and Low, a newly built 277‑unit mixed‑use complex. The development combines a main residential building, a Train Shed with loft‑style apartments, and a set of historic enclave single homes with private courtyards. The site also includes seven retail suites totaling about 15,000 square feet.
On‑site businesses include a restaurant and bar and a coffee shop, and the project plans additional food and beverage offerings by third parties. Loan proceeds will be used to pay off existing construction debt, cover transaction costs, and fund remaining construction expenses. The transaction was originated on behalf of the project sponsor by a three‑person team.
A separate closing provided a $49.7 million 35‑year fixed‑rate HUD 223(f) loan to refinance a 167‑unit multifamily community with two commercial spaces in Santa Maria. Completed in 2023, the community holds a GreenPoint Rated New Home Silver certification and offers a rooftop sun deck, fitness center, dog park, and picnic area with grilling stations.
Proceeds will retire existing debt, cover closing costs, and establish a replacement reserve for future capital needs. The refinance was originated by a two‑person loan team for the borrowing group.
The group also closed a $48.3 million 35‑year fixed‑rate HUD 223(f) loan to refinance a 215‑unit apartment community delivered in 2022. That property carries a GreenPoint Rated Silver certification for existing multifamily housing. The transaction was originated by a two‑person team working with the borrower sponsors.
The lenders describe themselves as active commercial real estate financiers and report a serviced loan portfolio that exceeds $13 billion. Their product set includes balance‑sheet bridge and new construction loans, FHA/HUD insured loans, C‑PACE financing, mezzanine loans, and preferred equity.
In a separate quarter, the affiliated REIT reported closing roughly $650.7 million in seniors housing financings, which included a large bridge for a multi‑property skilled nursing and assisted living portfolio and other bridge loans for regional portfolios. That seniors housing activity also included working capital lines tied to some transactions.
The finance group has also been active on the corporate office front, signing a long‑term lease to relocate a headquarters office within a South Florida mixed‑use development this year and making an earlier South Florida move. These office moves were handled through brokerage and legal representation.
For readers seeking the firms’ public materials or media contact information, an industry contact email was provided in their materials for inquiries.
These financings illustrate a mix of short‑term bridge capital and long‑dated HUD insured debt being used to transition projects from construction to stabilized ownership, to refinance recently completed communities, and to support regional healthcare and seniors housing portfolios. The use of HUD 223(f) loans for multifamily properties shows an emphasis on fixed long‑term financing for stabilized rental inventory, while bridge facilities remain necessary to close out construction and enable sponsor exits.
The closings included a construction take‑out / bridge loan and two 35‑year fixed‑rate HUD 223(f) loans.
The bridge loan for the Charleston mixed‑use development totaled $110 million.
HUD 223(f) loans provide long‑term, fixed‑rate financing for stabilized multifamily housing, often used to refinance existing debt, complete purchases, and fund reserves for capital improvements.
The California property holds a GreenPoint Rated New Home Silver certification; the Colorado community holds a GreenPoint Rated Silver certification for existing multifamily housing.
Each transaction listed an origination team and sponsor/borrower group; the bridge loan was arranged for a developer sponsor of the Charleston project, while the HUD loans were arranged for the borrower groups managing the two apartment communities.
