West Palm Beach, FL – March 28, 2025 – In the heart of Florida’s bustling coastal city, where the skyline meets the sea breeze, Fifty Stones Capital Group has once again proven why it’s the private lender of choice for ambitious developers and time-sensitive projects. On March 28, 2025, the firm successfully closed a $12 million construction loan for a transformative development in West Palm Beach, a deal that nearly slipped through the cracks until the Fifty Stones team stepped in with unmatched speed and precision.
The borrower’s original lender had abruptly pulled out, leaving a high-profile construction project dangling in uncertainty. The site, a prime parcel just blocks from the Intracoastal, was already under preliminary work, with crews poised to break ground on a mixed-use development blending luxury residences with upscale retail. Every day lost meant rising costs, strained relationships with contractors, and the looming threat of losing key pre-lease agreements.
Enter Fifty Stones Capital Group. Known for tackling complex, high-stakes transactions, the firm immediately mobilized its deal team. Within a a few days, they had engaged in deep-dive underwriting, navigating layered ownership structures, intricate zoning approvals, and a tight funding window. The borrower’s request was ambitious, full construction financing at favorable terms, funded in record time, without sacrificing the integrity of the underwriting process.
The team’s strategy was bold. Leveraging their network of high-net-worth investors, Fifty Stones assembled a funding pool capable of supporting the $12M request. The structure was tailored to the project’s needs — interest-only payments during the build period, a streamlined draw schedule to keep contractors moving, and flexibility for early completion incentives.
From first introduction to closing table, the process was a race against the clock. “We knew we couldn’t afford to lose momentum,” said Mark Shea, the CEO of Fifty Stones Capital Group. “This wasn’t just about funding a project, it was about rescuing a vision that was already in motion.”
On March 28, 2025, the deal closed, funds wired, shovels ready, and a project saved. The loan not only secured the immediate construction needs but positioned the borrower for long-term success, with completion expected in mid-2026. The West Palm Beach development is now on track to become a landmark in the city’s growth, blending modern architecture with the coastal charm that draws investors and residents alike. And behind the scenes, Fifty Stones Capital Group remains the quiet force turning high-pressure moments into milestone achievements.
