Bravo Capital Funds $200 Million in Bridge & HUD Financing Through Q2 2022

NEW YORK, July 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bravo Capital and its Bridge Fund affiliate, Bravo Bridge Fund LLC, have closed approximately $200,000,000 in Bridge and HUD-insured financing this year through Q2 2022. With a $30.6MM skilled nursing portfolio financing and a $7.9MM multifamily closing in late June, Bravo continues to ramp up financing production with top sponsors.

The 453-bed SNF portfolio, originated by CEO Aaron Krawitz, consists of six facilities located throughout Pennsylvania. The sponsor will use the roughly $30.6MM in bridge financing to acquire the portfolio and further upgrade operations.

Bravo Capital also closed a direct to HUD, $7.9MM multifamily transaction in Stratford, Connecticut.

Bravo Capital also closed a direct to HUD, $7.9MM multifamily transaction in Stratford, Connecticut. The market rate refinance of the 66-unit property was also originated by Aaron Krawitz. The two-building property, built in 1973 and located on roughly 2.5 acres of land, will deploy the HUD-insured capital to complete renovations and remove existing indebtedness on the property.

While June was certainly an eventful month for Bravo, it was hardly the firm’s busiest to date. In March 2022, Bravo Capital and Bravo Bridge Fund closed 5 consecutive transactions with locations ranging from Pennsylvania to New York, and various cities throughout Florida. Notable was a $48MM refinance of a 100-unit, multifamily complex, located in Pennsylvania.
