July 31, 2013 HLV International Consultants LLC is pleased to announce that one of its lending partners just funded a $12.65 million acquisition and renovation bridge loan secured by a first mortgage on a shuttered office building. The office building, in the heart of Houston's Central Business District, will be converted into a 209-key state of the art Holiday Inn hotel. 

The lender said, "We are happy to back an up and coming developer whose vision will create material value and enhance the Downtown Houston hotel selection." 

The lender is a national balance sheet provider of capital solutions, involving both debt and equity, that has closed in excess of $600 million in real estate investments over the last 18 months. The lender looks to hit the $1 billion dollar mark in 2013. The Lender's core belief is that real estate ownership and real estate financing should work together as a partnership. By working together, the lender shares each and every client's vision of creating innovative financial solutions.
