One of the deals which helped the lender reach the milestone was a £9.2m senior facility for the refinancing and development of two freehold Georgian townhouses in Bloomsbury, London, with a GDV of £14m.
The adjoining Grade II-listed buildings are set over four storeys and a basement in Great James Street, which date back to the 1720s.
The proposed project involves converting the properties from their current office use to a pair of family dwellings, which will include five bedrooms, home cinemas, wine cellars, gyms, cigar lounges, private gardens, and roof terraces with views over central London.
JW Private Finance worked with CapitalRise to complete the loan, which was agreed at 66% LTGDV on a 24-month term.
