West Forest Capital, a private real estate lender, has closed a $2.4 million bridge loan secured by a recently renovated luxury single-family residence in Greenwich, Connecticut. The financing refinanced an existing first mortgage and provided additional liquidity to support the borrower’s acquisition of another investment property.

The borrower originally acquired the home in 2020 and subsequently completed a full-scale renovation. What made the transaction notable was West Forest Capital’s ability to close based primarily on the strength of the collateral rather than the borrower’s credit profile or income. While the borrower had a 560 credit score, the firm was comfortable proceeding, given the quality of the asset, the moderate leverage, and a clearly defined exit strategy involving the sale of the property.
“Transactions like this illustrate the role private lenders can play in today’s market,” said Minsok Oh, Principal of West Forest Capital. “Many traditional lenders remain constrained by rigid credit parameters, even when the real estate and leverage profile are compelling. We were able to focus on the value of the underlying asset, the borrower’s business plan, and a clear path to repayment.”
“In markets like Greenwich, well-located luxury residential collateral can support attractive lending opportunities when paired with disciplined structure and meaningful equity in the deal.”
West Forest Capital specializes in asset-based bridge lending for residential and commercial real estate, with a focus on transactions that require speed, flexibility, and practical underwriting.
