Briar Capital Real Estate Fund provides $2.3MM Commercial Real Estate loan to a Tennis and Aquatic Recreational Facility

Briar Capital Real Estate Fund (www.BriarCapital.com) is pleased to announce the closing of a new $2.3MM commercial real estate loan in Georgia to a tennis and aquatic recreational facility. The transaction was a refinance of a 6-year-old seller note where the seller desired to exit the debt to focus on other opportunities.

Introduced to this prospect by Simple Commercial Capital, a boutique capital advisory firm, Briar Capital Real Estate Fund stepped in to quickly underwrite and close the transaction to meet an ambitious timeline. Not only did Briar Capital refinance the existing seller mortgage, but they also provided additional liquidity to be used for working capital and property improvements all while rolling in the closing expenses to limit the borrowers out of pocket costs.

I doubt many other lenders would have had the ability to get their arms around this transaction as quickly as we did and close this loan facility in a timely manner. Many thanks to Briar Capital’s stellar underwriting team of Laura Cordero and Kristin Yowell who spearheaded the closing and worked diligently to get this opportunity across the finish line.”
