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 transaction underscores the sustained strength of Central Florida's multifamily market, which continues to benefit from robust demographic and economic trends including 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, demonstrating its comprehensive approach to real estate debt investment.

This significant financing transaction reflects continued institutional confidence in Florida's multifamily sector, which remains a focal point for real estate investment due to the state's persistent population growth and strong economic fundamentals. The bridge loan structure provides the property owner with immediate capital for ongoing improvements while positioning the assets for potential long-term financing or sale opportunities.
