Avant Capital, a Connecticut-based commercial real estate bridge lender, has originated a $19,490,000 bridge loan secured by two multifamily properties in Central Florida. The financing supports Terra Villa Park, a 41-unit residential and 3-unit commercial mixed-use property in Winter Springs, and Terra Hill Apartments, a 76-unit multifamily community in Winter Haven.
The multifamily market in Central Florida continues to benefit from strong demographic and economic trends, including robust job growth, in-migration, and sustained housing demand. Winter Springs offers residents a walkable, town center environment in a high-income Orlando suburb, while the Winter Haven property is positioned within a fast-growing market supported by major employers such as Publix, Walmart, and Lakeland Regional Health.
Both properties are well-occupied with recent capital improvements and further upside from ongoing renovations. Adam Luysterborghs, Managing Principal of Avant, stated that this financing exemplifies the company's core focus on providing flexible capital to experienced multifamily sponsors. He noted that both properties are well-located in growth markets, and Avant is pleased to support the sponsor's business plan as these communities continue to perform.
In 2025, Avant is targeting similar projects ranging from $1 million to $75 million nationwide with a focus on multifamily and industrial assets across high-growth markets including Florida, Texas, North Carolina, Georgia, and Colorado. The company also acquires non-performing loans secured by commercial real estate. For more information on Avant Capital, please visit https://www.avant-capital.com.
This transaction demonstrates continued investor confidence in Florida's multifamily market, which remains attractive due to population growth, employment opportunities, and housing demand. The bridge loan structure provides interim financing that enables property owners to execute value-add strategies while positioning assets for long-term stability in competitive rental markets.
