Emerald Creek Capital's Florida Office Sees a Strong Start to 2017

NEW YORK, April 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Emerald Creek Capital, a national debt provider serving middle market commercial real estate transactions, has just announced two recent closings originated from their south Florida office. The short-term bridge loans totaled $6,500,000 and are secured by high-quality real estate collateral in the Orlando and Cocoa metro areas. These two transactions build upon Emerald Creek's track record of lending on income-producing assets in mature markets.

"We continue to see increasing momentum in alternative lending within Florida's real estate market," comments Mike Cleaver, a Managing Director at the firm. "Our ability to move quickly enables borrowers to take advantage of unique investment opportunities that traditional lenders cannot."
