WAC closes $350,000 in commercial loans

Tolland, CT On January 15, Worth Avenue Capital, LLC (WAC) closed a $200,000 commercial loan for a Connecticut-based business. The loan proceeds will be used for working capital purposes on a short-term basis. The loan is secured by a junior mortgage on an oceanfront luxury condominium in Naples, FL with an underlying LTV of 38%.

The borrower continues to have sales for their product and has accumulated an excess of A/R on their company’s balance sheet. Once the A/R monetizes into cash, the borrower will then pay off WAC’s short-term bridge loan in full.

On February 2, Worth Avenue Capital, LLC closed on a $150,000 commercial loan to a Connecticut based real estate developer.

The developer is a repeat borrower of WAC who is a cardio thoracic surgeon in Connecticut.
