196-key select-service hotel, Miami — an $18,400,000 senior bridge refinance.
Hartwell Development Partners acquired the 196-key select-service hotel at 1400 Biscayne Boulevard in 2023 and has completed a $4.1MM room and commons renovation. Trailing performance now supports a refinance of the maturing acquisition loan, with eighteen months of seasoning ahead of a permanent takeout. The ask: a 24-month interest-only senior bridge at 65% of value, sized to retire the existing note, return renovation capital, and carry a modest interest reserve while RevPAR completes its climb.
$28.30MM total capitalization · as proposed.
Ordered by risk — equity above, senior below. Updates as terms land.
Every entry dated and initialed. Nothing moves without leaving a line.
The desk reads the deal the way a lender will before anyone outside the firm sees it \u2014 basis, sponsorship, market, exit. We decide together whether and how to go to market.
Everything a capital source will ask for, assembled once \u2014 so diligence never stalls the deal later. The file is the product; lenders can tell when it was built by professionals.
Quiet, simultaneous placement \u2014 every source gets the same file, the same day. No shopping, no leakage; the register logs every approach.
Sheets are normalized into one comparison \u2014 rate, structure, recourse, real cost \u2014 with the desk's annotation on what each clause is worth pushing.
Commitment to closing is project management \u2014 conditions cleared in order, docs turned fast, nobody discovering anything in week three.
Capital moves. The file closes into the archive, the register is complete \u2014 and your seat at the Credit Committee opens.

The gap between what sellers remember and what buyers can underwrite has widened every quarter for a year. Cap rates moved; conviction didn’t. The result is a market where the bid is honest and the ask is nostalgic — and where most participants have decided the polite thing to do is wait each other out.
We take the other view. The waiting is the opportunity. Sponsors who can hold, refinance, or build into this stretch are buying eighteen months of reduced competition for assets that will not get cheaper to replace. The construction ledger tells the story better than any broker deck: starts in the Southeast corridor are down by more than a third from their 2024 pace, while in-migration has barely blinked. Scarcity is being manufactured right now, quietly, by everyone who chose to wait.
What we’re telling our clients: patience is a position, but only if it’s funded. The sponsors who win the next cycle are the ones whose capital stacks were built for the crossing — term that outlasts the standoff, reserves that don’t require heroics, partners who understood the plan before the market agreed with it.
That’s the work on the desk this month.

212 units, ground-up garden multifamily, Miami — a $6,200,000 LP equity raise.
Hartwell broke ground on Solara’s 212 units in January with entitlements complete, GMP contract executed, and a $20.7MM construction facility closed at 65% of cost. Vertical construction is on schedule; first deliveries are projected Q4 2027 into a submarket running sub-4% vacancy. The raise completes the capital stack: $6.2MM of LP equity for 70% of the equity, targeting a 17–19% project IRR and a 2.0x multiple over a four-year hold, with the sponsor holding 30% of the equity and all completion risk.
$31.85MM total capitalization.

118-key lakeside resort & marina, Horseshoe Bay, TX — a $12,000,000 senior bridge refinance.
Chrysallis Core Group acquired the 118-key lakeside resort and marina in 2024 and has completed the room program and the marina refit. Trailing performance is climbing into the summer season; the ask is a 24-month interest-only senior bridge at 63% of value — sized to retire the maturing acquisition note and carry the asset through two full seasons of stabilized numbers ahead of a permanent takeout.
$19.05MM total capitalization · as proposed.

Week of 24 August 2026.
Roughly seven weeks out — commitment issued by the second week of July, third-party diligence through mid-August, closing table the week of the 24th.
Every entry dated and initialed. Nothing moves without leaving a line.
The desk reads every OM as if a capital source will read it next — property, basis, sponsorship, market, exit. The follow-up call is where a deal becomes real; the file starts once the story lands. For a sponsor coming online today, this is the first week: your OM in front of the right eyes, and a working call the same week.
Signature triggers three things the same day: the file opens, the register initializes, and the desk lays out the raise memo. That first week — between engagement and shop-out — the desk is drafting the memo, sizing the capital-source pool to your profile, and pressure-testing the ask against where the market clears today. Not nothing to a sponsor who just committed to us.
Six sources hand-picked to the profile — hospitality bridge, Texas seasoning, mid-teens millions, a sponsor with the track record to hold. Same file, same day, no leakage. The register logs each approach; the follow-up cadence belongs to the desk from here.
First sheet in nine business days from placement — a regional debt fund with the profile in-house and a real book in Texas resort. Delivered at SOFR + 385, 65% LTC, 24 months IO with two one-year extensions. Read, filed, benchmarked against the desk’s own model. The desk does not react to the first sheet; the desk waits for the room.
Second and third sheets landed the week of 30 June — a national bridge shop and a family-office-backed private-credit lender. Three additional sources indicated intent to price; the desk chases the pending three while normalizing the sheets already in hand into one clean comparison. The Term-Sheet Inbox below is the working surface until the room closes.
Sheets get pulled into one comparison — rate, structure, real fees, prepayment, recourse, reserves. The desk annotates every clause worth pushing back on. You sit across from the comparison; we sit across from the lender. The comparison is not a stack of PDFs.
Signature on the elected sheet triggers third-party diligence — appraisal, environmental, title, PIP if applicable — alongside the lender’s underwriting. The desk runs a checklist to zero so nothing waits on the file to catch up. Wire mechanics land on the Monday before the target date; funding follows.
Every incoming lender sheet, white-labeled while the room fills. Sources revealed at the introduction, not before — a standing courtesy to the lenders competing for your deal, and a discipline the desk holds.
Delivered 6 July via analyst@ — the lender’s in-house form, un-redacted internally.
Desk read. Cleanest structure, tightest reserves. Loses on rate and prepay. The lever to pull: the origination fee is the softest number on the sheet.
Prepared for lender counsel identifier · 6 July 2026
“Borrower shall deliver the Revised Q2 2026 STR Trend Report to Lender not later than five (5) business days prior to Commitment, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion.”
“Prepayment shall be permitted at any time upon payment of the Yield Maintenance Amount calculated in accordance with Schedule 3, provided that no prepayment shall be permitted during the first three (3) Loan Months.”
Delivered 1 July via analyst@ — a lender who moves fast, prices for it.
Desk read. Wins on term and prepay flexibility. Loses on rate, loan size, and the partial guarantee. The lever: they will price down 30–40 bps if we walk them off the guarantee — ask about family-office deals they closed without it.
Prepared for borrower’s advisor · 1 July 2026
“A limited recourse guarantee of the Loan in an amount equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the outstanding principal balance shall be provided by the Sponsor Principal, subject to burn-down upon achievement of the Stabilization Test.”
“Prepayment shall be permitted at par after the twelfth (12th) Loan Month without penalty.”
Delivered 27 June via analyst@ — first out of the room, priced with a real Texas resort book behind it.
Desk read. Wins on rate, wins on leverage, wins on optionality. The extension performance test is worth reading closely; we push to soften the RevPAR trigger by 3–4%. This is the sheet to hold as the anchor.
Prepared for borrower’s deal team · 27 June 2026
“Each Extension Option is exercisable at Borrower’s election, subject to (i) payment of a twenty-five (25) basis point extension fee and (ii) satisfaction of the Extension Performance Test set forth in Exhibit B.”
“Prepayment shall be permitted, in whole or in part, at any time subject to payment of the Minimum Interest Amount equal to six (6) months’ interest on the amount prepaid.”
Rate, structure, real fees, prepayment. What each sheet actually costs across the hold — not what each sheet advertises.

| Closing conditions | Standard third-party diligence | PIP scope approval · Q2 STR | Franchise consent · MAI appraisal |
The desk’s read. Sheet No.01 leads on rate, leverage, and optionality — the anchor of the room. Sheet No.03 is the least-friction close and holds the tightest structure; the lever there is the origination fee. Sheet No.02 does not survive rate but keeps the room honest on term and prepay. The push, once you elect, is to hold No.01’s rate while extracting the softer origination from No.03. We expect three more sheets by Friday; the desk brings you the final comparison the week of 13 July.
