Harbor Group International Provides Bridge Financing for Virginia Multifamily Portfolio Acquisition

HAMPTON, Va., April 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Harbor Group International, LLC ("HGI"), a privately-owned international real estate investment and management firm, today announced it provided $75.5 million in bridge financing to Brentwood Investment Group ("Brentwood") and Greencove Capital Group ("Greencove") for the acquisition of an 856-unit multifamily portfolio in Virginia. The loan is part of HGI's whole loan senior mortgage platform.

The portfolio consists of five garden-style multifamily communities in Hampton and one property in Poquoson, Va. Built between 1970 and 1985 with an average unit size of 921 square feet, the properties are strong performers and feature affordable rents.

The properties are near convenient transportation, including major highways such as I-64 and I-664, providing access to several employment and education hubs including Langley Air Force Base, NASA Langley Research Center, Virginia Air and Space Center and the Hampton VA Medical Center. The area also features many retail centers such as Riverdale Shopping Center and Peninsula Town Center.
