Mark Reichter and Alec Frook of Gantry’s Kansas City production office arranged the loans through one of the firm’s life company lenders on behalf of the borrower, a private real estate investor. The bridge loans include upfront interest-only terms followed by 30-year amortization schedules and include capital expenditure funds. Gantry will service the loans.
