- Closed a $16.0 million first mortgage floating rate bridge loan

The $16.0 million bridge loan to recapitalize a hotel in Orlando marks a strategic move for Seven Hills Realty Trust (SEVN). This transaction demonstrates SEVN's ability to execute deals in a competitive market while diversifying its portfolio. The three-year term with two one-year extension options provides flexibility for the borrower and potential for extended income for SEVN. The location of the property in the Lake Mary Wellness and Technology Park, with proximity to Orlando's major attractions, suggests strong potential for consistent occupancy rates. However, investors should note that the floating rate nature of the loan exposes SEVN to interest rate risk in the current volatile economic environment. The partnership with Highgate, a repeat borrower, indicates SEVN's focus on building reliable relationships in the real estate financing sector.
The recapitalization of the Home2 Suites by Hilton Lake Mary Orlando is a savvy move in the current market. Extended-stay hotels have shown resilience post-pandemic, often outperforming traditional hotels. The 123-room property's recent construction is a significant advantage, likely featuring modern amenities and energy-efficient systems that can help maintain operational costs. The location within a wellness and technology park suggests a steady stream of business travelers, complementing potential leisure guests visiting Orlando's attractions. However, investors should be aware of the cyclical nature of the hospitality industry and potential oversupply risks in the Orlando market. SEVN's strategy of diversifying into premium hotel assets could provide a hedge against volatility in other real estate sectors, but it also exposes them to the specific risks associated with the hospitality industry.
This deal reflects broader trends in the real estate investment market. With rising interest rates and economic uncertainty, bridge loans are becoming increasingly attractive to both lenders and borrowers. For SEVN, this $16.0 million loan represents a calculated risk in a high-demand sector. The Orlando hotel market has been rebounding strongly post-pandemic, with RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Room) showing significant growth. However, investors should monitor potential headwinds such as inflation impacts on travel spending and any signs of economic slowdown. The focus on an extended-stay property is particularly noteworthy, as this segment has shown resilience due to longer average stays and lower operational costs. SEVN's mention of an active pipeline of quality opportunities suggests a bullish outlook on the commercial real estate lending market, which could signal potential for further portfolio growth and diversification.
The loan has a three-year initial term with two one-year extension options, subject to the borrower meeting certain requirements. SEVN’s manager, Tremont Realty Capital, was introduced to the transaction by Highgate, a
