NewEmpire Real Estate Group received $27.8 million in bridge financing for its condominium development. The one year bridge loan was provided by The F-Tranzacts Group and will be used to refinance a $22.1 million loan provided by Cathay Bank in June 2020. The loan has a minimum guaranteed interest period of four months, which will enable the borrower to act quickly on obtaining construction financing, said Robert Marshall, the managing director at The F-Tranzacts Group. Historically,  The F-Tranzacts Group has seen a concentration of lending activity in the Bay Area while expanding its national footprint each year. This past month was no exception, with a majority of loans secured by San Francisco real estate collateral and additional real estate collateral located in Pennsylvania, Illinois, North Carolina, and Florida. Transactions included the refinance of a mixed-use building in the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan, an acquisition and building loan in Palo Alto, and an acquisition loan secured by a waterfront development in Mountain View.
