The boutique investment-banking and advisory firm, regarded as one of the most active and rapidly emerging capital-markets platforms in Florida, structured five loans spanning mixed-use, multifamily, retail, hospitality, and development assets, underscoring continued liquidity and investor engagement in the region’s property markets despite a selective lending environment.
MIAMI — November 2025 — WD Capital Group, a South Florida–based real estate investment banking and capital markets advisory firm, has arranged more than $200 million in financings across six transactions in Q2 and Q3 of 2025, including construction, acquisition, and refinance loans for assets throughout the Florida Tri-County region.
The transactions, led by Emile Schachter, Managing Principal of WD Capital Group, highlight continued lender appetite for well-located assets in a market characterized by selective underwriting and disciplined leverage.
“These financings highlight our team’s ability to execute across capital structures — from large-scale construction loans to middle-market refinancings and acquisitions,” said Emile Schachter, Managing Principal of WD Capital Group. “In a market where execution certainty is paramount, we focus on disciplined structuring, relationship-driven lending, and outcomes that align with our clients’ long-term business plans.”
The largest of the closings involved a $112 million construction loan for Oasis Hallandale, a two-tower, 375,000-square-foot mixed-use development along East Hallandale Beach Boulevard. The project, sponsored by Giuseppe Iadisernia, includes 250 residential units and an extensive amenity program. The loan was provided by S3 Capital Partners, represented by Robert Schwartz and Steven Jemal.
In Miami Beach, WD Capital Group structured a $32 million refinance facility through City National Bank of Florida, represented by Ela Rivero Prieto, for a pre-development site sponsored and represented by Eduardo Pelaez. The loan provides bridge capital to advance design, entitlement, and site infrastructure, positioning the property for vertical development in one of Miami’s most competitive land markets.
In Hollywood, WD Capital Group arranged a $9 million refinance for the Monroe Residences, a 40-unit multifamily property at 1850 Monroe Street, sponsored by Edward and Yuseth Jakubowicz and financed by Pacific National Bank, represented by Gabriel Castro and Oscar Segal.
In the Miami Design District, the firm secured a $4.15 million refinance through Hirshmark Capital, represented by Edwin Gelman, on behalf of Leviathan Development Group for a 5,600-square-foot retail property at 4300 Northwest 2nd Avenue.
Rounding out the series, WD Capital Group arranged a $15.85 million acquisition loan for the Doral Inn & Suites Miami, a 112-key hospitality property located at 1212 NW 82nd Avenue. The financing was provided by W Financial, represented by David Heiden, for Ratia Development LLC, led by Ricardo Ratia, with Related ISG serving as sales agent.
Together, the six transactions reflect WD Capital Group’s growing influence as an intermediary connecting entrepreneurial developers with institutional capital. WD Capital Group completed a $10 million bespoke equity advisory for a confidential South Florida condominium development, executed through a privately negotiated structure with a family-office investor group. The transaction reflects growing demand for customized equity partnerships among experienced sponsors with strong pre-sales and development pipelines, the firm said.
The firm has now arranged and executed more than $500 million in debt and equity transactions across the Florida Tri-County and Caribbean regions, with an expanding pipeline of development, commercial, hospitality, residential, and mixed-use mandates.
Market analysts note that while capital availability has tightened nationally, South Florida remains a magnet for domestic and international investment, supported by population inflows, favorable tax dynamics, and sustained housing demand.
