Whether a 20-lot subdivision, single family spec home, or warehouse facility, Summit provides today’s builders and investors with the capital and flexibility needed to pursue their project.
Through a staged transaction, Summit was able to assist in the redevelopment of a 4-lot subdivision in Verona, NJ. The 1.3 acre parcel required significant clean up to address historical activities on the property. Ultimately, Summit leveraged the value of the land use approvals and perfected subdivision to provide the Borrower with the financing necessary to create a marketable property. Prior to closing on the remediation loan, Summit established an exit strategy by identifying a local single-family home builder. Upon completion of the remedial activities, Summit provided the builder with $800,000 in acquisition financing and a construction revolver of $350,000 per house.
Summit Capital provides short-term funding to allow operators and owners to enhance values, complete construction, upgrade quality and otherwise become eligible for conventional financing.
Secured through a first position leasehold mortgage, Summit provided $1.8 million in bridge financing to help advance a multi-phase mixed use community in Lewes, DE featuring 900 residential units and several thousand square feet of service retail. Upon successfully completing phase one, the developer required additional financing to further the project and carry the property until conventional debt was secured.
Summit’s environmental remediation platform offers borrowers the opportunity to realize the full value of their property. Avoided by most conventional and private lenders, Summit works closely with the borrower and its consultants to efficiently navigate the specifics of each remediation plan.
Summit provided $2,750,000 in acquisition, construction and remediation financing for a 76,000 sq. ft. vacant warehouse facility plagued by contamination and years of neglect. In collaboration with the Borrower and its consultants, Summit was able to quickly navigate the complicated elements of the deal and proceed to closing. The Borrower successfully completed the improvements and remediation in less than one year and sold the property for a significant gain.
