LOS ANGELES, April 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CrownGuard Capital LLC, a direct balance sheet lender specializing in structured commercial real estate financing, is pleased to announce the successful closing of a $22,000,000 bridge loan to support the acquisition and development of a premier beach house property in Southern California.

The financing was executed under a 36-month term at a 10.79% interest rate, providing the borrower with flexible, short-term capital to complete the acquisition and implement a value-add business plan focused on enhancing the property’s luxury appeal and guest experience.
