Commercial Bridge Financing in Florida

Transitional & Value-Add Assets • Acquisition • Recapitalization

Commercial bridge financing in Florida is short-term, transitional capital used by sponsors to acquire, reposition, recapitalize, or stabilize commercial real estate while preparing for permanent financing or sale. Bridge capital is active across the state's primary and secondary MSAs, supporting hospitality, multifamily, retail, office, industrial, and mixed-use assets in Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, and Fort Lauderdale. Florida's capital demand is shaped by PortMiami and Port Everglades, Orlando International Airport, the Walt Disney World and Universal hospitality corridor, the University of Florida and Florida State University systems, NASA Kennedy Space Center, and one of the country's largest hospitality and multifamily markets. Cornovus Capital manages the full bridge engagement from initial underwriting and capital structure analysis through term negotiation, structuring, and closing execution, ensuring transparency, speed, and certainty of execution from underwriting through closing.

Bridge capital in Florida is active across the full spectrum of transitional commercial real estate, including multifamily acquisition and lease-up across Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, and Fort Lauderdale, hospitality renovation and repositioning along the coastal markets and the Central Florida tourism corridor, industrial and logistics recapitalization tied to PortMiami, Port Everglades, and the statewide airport network, retail value-add across the South Florida and Central Florida markets, and office and mixed-use repositioning serving the financial services, technology, and healthcare employment base. Bridge transactions in Florida typically range from $3 million to $100 million per asset, with 6 to 36 month interest-only terms and leverage to 85% loan-to-cost using cross-collateralization or equity pledges.
