ROCHELLE PARK, NJ/BONITA SPRINGS, FL — Today’s rapidly changing marketplace requires a disciplined risk-management process when it comes to commercial real estate investing. Case Real Estate Capital, LLC (Case) executed a successful exit strategy, within 14 months, on a $12 million first mortgage bridge loan transaction for a 25-acre parcel of land to be zoned and entitled for its projected uses - senior housing, retail, and public marina-focused development - in Bonita Springs, FL.
