BridgeInvest Funds $14.3 MM Loan on Industrial Land in New Jersey

BridgeInvest recently closed a $14.25 MM loan for the refinance of a 25.6-acre industrial land assemblage in Woodbridge, New Jersey. At closing, the sponsor was in the process of receiving entitlements to develop an over 350,000 square foot logistics center on the property. The loan proceeds were used to refinance the existing debt which had a near term maturity, allowing the sponsor additional time to move forward with their development plan.

Environmental and Wetlands Approvals
BridgeInvest underwrote the complicated risks associated with obtaining necessary environmental and wetland permitting.

Partial Approvals
