Dwight Capital and Dwight Mortgage Trust Finance $475.5MM in May 2025

Dwight Capital and its affiliate REIT, Dwight Mortgage Trust (“DMT”), closed $475.5 million in real estate financings in May. Highlighted transactions included a bridge loan for a skilled nursing portfolio in Florida, a bridge loan for Moment Apartments in Minneapolis, and a HUD 223(f) refinance for Pointe Grand Brunswick in Georgia.

DMT closed an $80 million bridge loan to facilitate the acquisition of a five-property, 518-bed skilled nursing portfolio spread throughout central Florida. In conjunction with the bridge loan, Dwight Healthcare Funding provided a $12 million working capital line of credit to support the portfolio’s ongoing operational needs. This transaction was originated by Josh Sturm, Managing Director of Senior Housing and Healthcare.

DMT also provided a $49 million bridge loan to refinance Moment Apartments, a newly constructed 222-unit luxury apartment community in Minneapolis, MN. The property consists of a 10-story building with 14,713 square feet of ground-floor retail space, occupied by Starbucks and New Horizon Academy. Residents enjoy premium amenities, such as a fitness center, business center, golf simulator, sauna, and swimming pool. Loan proceeds were used to retire existing debt, fund reserves, and cover transaction-related costs. This financing was originated by Vice President Daniel Malka and Jonathan Pomper for the borrower, Sherman Associates.

Additionally, Dwight Capital financed a $43 million HUD 223(f) loan for Pointe Grand Brunswick, a 264-unit lakefront community in Brunswick, Georgia. Built in 2023, the property comprises eight three-story garden-style apartment buildings, exclusively featuring two-bedroom, two-bathroom units, situated on over 23 acres.

Loan proceeds were used to repay existing debt, including a bridge loan from DMT, cover closing costs, and return equity accumulated since the project’s initial construction. The refinance qualified for a reduced Green Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP) to 25 basis points, due to the property’s National Green Building Standard (NGBS) Bronze Level Certification. The transaction was originated by Managing Director Josh Hoffman and Jonathan Pomper for a recurring Dwight client, Hillpointe, which has successfully developed over $1 billion in multifamily housing assets.
