Fifty Stones Capital Group Successfully Closes $13.5 Million Short‑Term Bridge Loan for High‑Profile Board Member.

Irvine, CA – In a testament to its reputation for swift, strategic financing, Fifty Stones Capital Group is proud to announce the successful closing of a $13.5 million, 12‑month bridge loan for a high‑profile board member securing short‑term funding in one of Southern California’s most sought‑after markets.

The borrower, an accomplished board member with significant assets and a long history of successful business ventures, required a short‑term liquidity solution while awaiting the finalization of tax filings and long‑term financing. With strong equity but limited time, the board member needed a lender capable of moving quickly and structuring terms that allowed for early repayment without penalties. The expectation was clear: the bridge facility would likely be paid off in as little as 6–12 months once anticipated funds became available. Rather than face the rigidity of traditional institutions, the borrower turned to Fifty Stones Capital Group, known for its precision underwriting, creative structuring, and ability to close under tight deadlines.

The underlying asset and borrower operations are located in Irvine, California, a city that perfectly embodies opportunity and growth. Nestled in the heart of Orange County, Irvine is widely regarded as one of the most master‑planned and dynamic urban centers in the country. Irvine’s economy thrives on its technology, life sciences, and real estate development sectors, housing everything from Fortune 500 headquarters to innovative startups. Ranked consistently among the safest cities in America, Irvine is known for its meticulously maintained neighborhoods, award‑winning schools, and abundant green spaces. Prestigious shopping and cultural landmarks, including South Coast Plaza and Irvine Spectrum Center, further elevate its status as a premier destination for both living and investing.

Fifty Stones Capital Group quickly assembled a transaction team to review the borrower’s financials, collateral, and exit strategy. The result was a custom‑tailored bridge facility:

• Loan Amount: $13,500,000

• Term: 12 months

• Prepayment: No prepayment penalty, providing maximum flexibility for payoff in as little as 6 months

• Collateral: Secured against high‑value assets in Irvine, California

• Purpose: Short‑term liquidity ahead of tax‑filing‑related capital events and permanent financing

The loan process was marked by clear communication, hands‑on support, and meticulous attention to detail.

“Every step was seamless,” the board member shared. “The team at Fifty Stones Capital Group not only moved with speed but also gave me complete confidence in the process. What could have been stressful became remarkably straightforward.”

Mark Shea, the CEO of Fifty Stones Capital Group added:
