Avant Capital Provides $19.49 Million Bridge Financing for Florida Multifamily Portfolio
Avant Capital's $19.49 million bridge loan for two Central Florida multifamily properties highlights continued investor confidence in the region's strong demographic growth, job market expansion, and sustained housing demand.
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 package 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 transaction underscores the strength of Central Florida's multifamily market, which continues to benefit from robust demographic and economic trends including significant job growth, population 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.
Adam Luysterborghs, Managing Principal of Avant, stated that this financing exemplifies the company's core focus on providing flexible capital to experienced multifamily sponsors. Both properties are well-occupied with recent capital improvements and additional upside potential from ongoing renovations, making them attractive investments in growth markets.
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 about Avant Capital's lending programs, visit https://www.avant-capital.com.
The financing arrangement demonstrates continued lender confidence in Florida's multifamily sector despite broader economic uncertainties. The state's combination of job growth, population influx, and limited housing supply has created favorable conditions for multifamily investments, particularly in markets like Winter Springs and Winter Haven that benefit from strong employment bases and desirable locations.
