Thorofare Capital has funded a $28,438,000 as a “quick-close” acquisition loan for a three parcel, high-profile development assemblage along the expanding North Miami Avenue Corridor in Miami’s vibrant Wynwood sub-market.

Wynwood one named one of the 10 coolest neighborhoods in the world by Forbes in 2019. The sites includes more than 345 feet along North Miami Avenue, which traffics over 17,000 cars per day. Additionally, the location’s walk score is 94 out of 100.The 18-month, interest only bridge loan includes two additional extension options, a flexible prepayment structure and an interest reserve.
