Avant Capital (“Avant”), a Connecticut-based commercial real estate bridge lender, has originated a $19,490,000 bridge loan secured by two multifamily properties in Central Florida: Terra Villa Park, a mixed-use property with 41 residential and 3 commercial units at 154 Tuskawilla Road in Winter Springs, and Terra Hill Apartments, a 76-unit community at 3135 Woodhill Road in Winter Haven. The loan highlights Avant's strategy of providing flexible capital to experienced sponsors in high-growth markets.
The multifamily market in Central Florida continues to benefit from robust job growth, in-migration, and sustained housing demand. Winter Springs offers a walkable town center environment in a high-income Orlando suburb, while Winter Haven is supported by major employers such as Publix, Walmart, and Lakeland Regional Health. Both properties are well-occupied, with recent capital improvements and further upside from ongoing renovations.
Adam Luysterborghs, Managing Principal of Avant, stated, “This financing exemplifies our core focus on providing flexible capital to experienced multifamily sponsors. Terra Villa Park and Terra Hill are well-located properties in growth markets, and we are pleased to support the sponsor’s business plan as these communities continue to perform.”
In 2025, Avant is targeting similar projects ranging from $1 million to $75 million nationwide, focusing on multifamily and industrial assets across high-growth markets such as Florida, Texas, North Carolina, Georgia, and Colorado. The company also acquires non-performing loans secured by commercial real estate. For more information on Avant Capital, visit www.avant-capital.com.
This transaction underscores the ongoing demand for bridge financing in the multifamily sector, particularly in regions like Central Florida where population growth and economic expansion continue to drive housing needs. The loan enables the borrower to execute value-add initiatives and stabilize the properties, reflecting the broader trend of institutional capital flowing into Sun Belt markets.
