The request

$2.25MM to retire an expensive bridge and finish five luxury units.

Day-1 advance of $1,033,805 retires the existing loan in a cash-neutral refi; an $884K construction holdback completes the project; a financed $334K interest reserve carries debt service through construction and into lease-up. SOFR + 4.50% (8.14% all-in), 24 months + two 6-month extensions, full recourse.

Bridge sizing

LTC binds — every other cap has cushion.

Sized at 80% LTC against $2,814,666 of total project cost. The constraint stack below shows the maximum loan each test would allow — the request sits at the most conservative one.

Constraint stack — max loan by test

Request: $2,251,733. Orange = binding constraint.

Pro forma DSCR cap · stab NOI ÷ (rate × 1.20x)$2,442,987 · +$191K
LTV cap · stabilized value × 75%$2,556,760 · +$305K
Debt yield cap · stab NOI ÷ 8.5% minimum$2,807,423 · +$556K
The lender's loan is the smallest answer the stack produces — leaving $191K–$556K of cushion against every other test.
Investment highlights

Why this credit works.

Ritz-Carlton

Trophy infill block

Directly across from the announced Ritz-Carlton (2028); adjacent to the Kimpton's full renovation (late 2026); two blocks from Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

$84,579/yr

In-place retail anchor

A 12-year national tenant on a freshly executed 5-year renewal — $7,048/mo stepping to $7,261/mo in year three. Income from close.

$1.92MM basis

Sponsor skin in the game

Contributed basis to date plus full personal recourse — 20 years of experience, 38 units owned/managed, $6.94MM net worth.

$305K surplus

Defined, conservative exit

Stabilized NOI of $238,631 supports a $2.56MM bank perm at 75% LTV, 1.30x DSCR, 10.6% debt yield — surplus over the bridge balance.

Mid-construction

Recap, not speculation

The gut renovation is already underway. Day-1 proceeds are cash-neutral; the holdback finishes what's started.

66.1% LTV

Conservative sizing

80% LTC binds beneath every other cap — LTV, DSCR, and debt yield all carry meaningful cushion at $469K/unit total cost.

Risks & mitigants

Surfaced upfront, paired with numbers.

Risk — interest carry beyond the reserve

The $333,825 financed reserve covers ~22 months against a 24-month base term; sponsor wears ~$33K of carry plus any extension-period interest.

Mitigant

$182K current liquidity plus $150K approaching and $6.94MM net worth; $84,576 of in-place retail income offsets carry; NOI begins covering debt service by month 18 of the lease-up model.

Risk — sub-scale size, tenant concentration

$2.81MM total cost and a single commercial tenant representing 100% of current revenue.

Mitigant

The retail tenant is a 12-year operator on a fresh 5-year renewal with a contractual year-3 step-up; five residential units diversify income at a $3,200–$5,000/mo band consistent with downtown comps.

Risk — lease-up on five new units

Residential units carry no in-place rent; stabilized NOI requires successful lease-up.

Mitigant

The model assumes 12 months of lease-up after 24 months of construction — and the term structure provides up to 36 months of runway. Ritz-Carlton, Kimpton, and Gainbridge anchor the demand profile.

Risk — negative leverage during the hold

Yield on cost during construction runs below the all-in coupon — standard for value-add bridges, disclosed explicitly.

Mitigant

The financed interest reserve absorbs the gap by design; at stabilization the 8.5% yield on cost clears the 8.14% all-in rate with a 1.30x perm DSCR behind it.
