Dwight Capital and Dwight Mortgage Trust Finance $475.5MM in May 2025
MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Dwight Capital and its affiliate REIT, Dwight Mortgage Trust ('DMT'), closed $475.5 million in real estate financings in May. Highlighted transactions included a bridge loan for a skilled nursing portfolio in Florida, a bridge loan for Moment Apartments in Minneapolis, and a HUD 223(f) refinance for Pointe Grand Brunswick in Georgia.
DMT closed an $80 million bridge loan to facilitate the acquisition of a five-property, 518-bed skilled nursing portfolio spread throughout central Florida. In conjunction with the bridge loan, Dwight Healthcare Funding provided a $12 million working capital line of credit to support the portfolio's ongoing operational needs. This transaction was originated by Josh Sturm, Managing Director of Senior Housing and Healthcare.
DMT also provided a $49 million bridge loan to refinance Moment Apartments, a newly constructed 222-unit luxury apartment community in Minneapolis, MN. The property consists of a 10-story building with 14,713 square feet of ground-floor retail space, occupied by Starbucks and New Horizon Academy. Residents enjoy premium amenities, such as a fitness center, business center, golf simulator, sauna, and swimming pool. Loan proceeds were used to retire existing debt, fund reserves, and cover transaction-related costs. This financing was originated by Vice President Daniel Malka and Jonathan Pomper for the borrower, Sherman Associates.
Additionally, Dwight Capital financed a $43 million HUD 223(f) loan for Pointe Grand Brunswick, a 264-unit lakefront community in Brunswick, Georgia. Built in 2023, the property comprises eight three-story garden-style apartment buildings, exclusively featuring two-bedroom, two-bathroom units, situated on over 23 acres.
Loan proceeds were used to repay existing debt, including a bridge loan from DMT, cover closing costs, and return equity accumulated since the project's initial construction. The refinance qualified for a reduced Green Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP) to 25 basis points, due to the property's National Green Building Standard (NGBS) Bronze Level Certification. The transaction was originated by Managing Director Josh Hoffman and Jonathan Pomper for a recurring Dwight client, Hillpointe, which has successfully developed over $1 billion in multifamily housing assets.

Who's More Likely to D.I.Y.?
Being a homeowner means taking on projects big and small, long-planned and unexpected. But will you do-it-yourself, or will you find that the job is best suited for a hired professional? The answer largely depends on your income and age, according to a report and expert insight from the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University. In its latest report, Improving America's Housing 2025, the center conducted an analysis of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's 2023 American Housing Survey. Household income and homeowner age were among the factors that influenced spending on home improvements and repairs, and the type of projects that were undertaken. The report compared five income groups, the lowest earning less than $37,500 and the highest more than $172,000. The lowest earners spent an average $3,100 a year on projects like landscaping, minor plumbing repairs and bath upgrades. That was a fraction of the $10,900 spent by the highest earners, who tended to hire professionals for pricier and more complex installations, such as window replacement. While the bottom fifth spent less, their expenses represented a greater slice of their income — 16.3 percent versus 3.7 percent of the top income group. 'Lower-income householders are often cash strapped,' said Sophia Wedeen, a senior research analyst with the Joint Center. 'The fact that they're investing so much less in dollars but spending more of their incomes is certainly reinforcing inequities in housing conditions and finances.' The calculations also considered race and ethnicity, household composition and other traits, but of the homeowner characteristics evaluated, Ms. Wedeen noted, income is a main driver of spending. Professional installations make up the bulk of home project spending. Yet, when looking at D.I.Y.s, Ms. Wedeen explained, lower-income and younger homeowners — specifically those under the age of 35 — were 'most likely' among other age and income groups to undertake and spend money on doing the work themselves. 'There are many drivers of D.I.Y. activity, and certainly part of it is age,' said Ms. Wedeen. Younger homeowners have lower incomes, have had less time to build the home equity often used to fund larger professional projects and are more likely to live in newer homes that don't need major work. D.I.Y. jobs are typically smaller and less expensive. Plus, she said, this group tends to be more interested in being hands-on. Home Improvement Spending Snapshot The disparity in spending between D.I.Y. and professional projects is notable, as is the gap in what the highest and lowest earners spend for each. D.I.Y. project spending MOST SPENT BY AGE LOWEST EARNERS HIGHEST EARNERS $376 $1,086 $1,020 BY THOSE UNDER 35 YEARS OLD Professional project spending LOWEST EARNERS HIGHEST EARNERS MOST SPENT BY AGE $1,884 $8,018 $4,717 BY THOSE 35 TO 44 YEARS OLD D.I.Y. project spending Professional project spending LOWEST EARNERS LOWEST EARNERS $376 $1,884 HIGHEST EARNERS HIGHEST EARNERS $1,086 $8,018 MOST SPENT BY AGE MOST SPENT BY AGE $1,020 $4,717 BY THOSE UNDER 35 YEARS OLD BY THOSE 35 TO 44 YEARS OLD Source: Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard Univiersity By The New York Times
