Dwight Mortgage Trust (“DMT”), the affiliate REIT of Dwight Capital, provided a $75MM construction loan for Montage at Midtown, a 321-unit multifamily project in Fort Myers, FL. The proposed property is expected to pioneer the redevelopment of the Midtown area in Downtown Fort Myers. The project will be comprised of a four-story apartment building, a five-story clubhouse, a six-story parking garage, and five courtyards on approximately five acres. Its amenities will include a pool, pet park and spa, coffee shop, community car and bike sharing programs, and BBQ areas.
