NewPoint Real Estate Capital LLC has provided a $105 million bridge loan to facilitate the acquisition and lease-up of SeventyOne15 McDowell, a 2022-built mid-rise luxury community located in Scottsdale, AZ. The transaction was originated by NewPoint Senior Managing Director John DeWitt and features a two-year interest-only loan term with three one-year extension options. “NewPoint was tasked with delivering an accretive financing solution for this repeat client in the midst of a rising interest rate environment, and we were able to hold our quoted spread and loan proceeds,” DeWitt said. “Given the asset quality and market, we were able to close at roughly 30% leased shortly after SeventyOne15 McDowell received its final certificate of occupancy.”
