MILENIO SECURES $22 MILLION REFINANCING FOR 119-ACRE BB GROVE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IN WINTER GARDEN

Joint venture between EverHome and Linkvest Capital advances 461-lot community under contract with Dream Finders Homes WINTER GARDEN, Fla. (July 8, 2026) — Milenio, a joint venture between EverHome (formerly Cymbel Properties) and Linkvest Capital, has secured a $22 million refinancing for BB Grove South, a 119-acre, 461-lot residential development in the Horizon West master-planned community of Winter Garden, Florida. The loan was originated by LV Lending, the private lending affiliate of Linkvest Capital, and refinances an existing loan from PIMCO. The transaction closed on July 7, 2026. Located at the intersection of Grove Blossom Way and Avalon Road, the community includes 307 single-family lots and 154 townhome lots. Dream Finders Homes, one of the nation’s fastest-growing publicly traded homebuilders, is under contract to acquire all completed lots upon delivery. “This refinancing supports the next phase of development and allows us to maintain momentum on a project that will deliver new housing opportunities in one of the fastest-growing residential markets in Central Florida,” said Camilo Niño, CEO of Linkvest Capital and partner at Milenio. “With significant infrastructure already in place, a committed homebuilder and strong market fundamentals, BB Grove is well-positioned to achieve its development objectives.” “The refinancing also provides greater flexibility for our investor group,” added Niño. “This project has achieved significant value creation since acquisition, and we are confident in our ability to deliver on the business plan and maximize value for all stakeholders.” Milenio acquired the property for approximately $28 million in December 2021 as raw, unentitled land and has since transformed the site into a fully entitled residential community through extensive planning, engineering, permitting and horizontal development efforts. To date, more than $63.7 million has been invested in land acquisition, development and infrastructure improvements. Phase I of the project was completed on March 31, 2026, resulting in the delivery of 204 fully developed residential lots to Dream Finders Homes.   Phase II is currently underway, with site clearing completed, earthwork in progress, water and sewer infrastructure installation underway, and electrical design nearing completion. Delivery is slated for August 2027. Upon completion of horizontal development, the finished-lot community is expected to achieve a value of approximately $100 million. The project is led by an experienced development team with more than 20 years of real estate experience. Douglas Caraballo is a Founding Partner of EverHome, formerly Cymbel Properties, and Quinn Residences, a leading developer of built-to-rent (BTR) single-family rental communities throughout the Southeast. Camilo Niño and Ricardo Uribe, partners at Linkvest Capital, have collectively overseen more than $1.4 billion in real estate investments and financings throughout Florida and the United States. Together, the partners established Milenio to capitalize on residential land development opportunities in high-growth markets serving the nation’s leading homebuilders. The site is located west of Avalon Road (State Road 545) with convenient access to SR 429, Florida’s Turnpike and SR 408. The property is near highly rated schools, major employment centers and Central Florida’s leading attractions, including Walt Disney World Resort, Universal Orlando Resort and Orlando International Airport.

LV LENDING RECOGNIZED AMONG SOUTH FLORIDA’S TOP COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE LENDERS & BROKERS FOR THE EIGHTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR

Miami, FL — March 2026 For the eighth consecutive year, LV Lending has been named among South Florida’s Top Commercial Mortgage Lenders & Brokers by the South Florida Business Journal — a distinction that, over time, speaks louder than any single transaction. In the past year alone, LV Lending originated $214.82 million across 22 transactions, deploying capital across a range of commercial real estate projects through its senior-secured bridge lending strategy. That volume, sustained within one of the country’s most competitive real estate markets, reflects a platform built for consistency rather than cycles. Eight years of recognition isn’t something you plan for — it’s something you earn, one deal at a time. What stands out most isn’t the volume. It’s that partners keep coming back because they know what to expect: clear communication, disciplined underwriting, and alignment from term sheet to close. As the lending affiliate of Linkvest Capital, LV Lending operates within a broader co-investment platform that keeps the team closely tied to the outcomes of every transaction it finances. It’s a structure built on a simple belief: that the best deals happen when everyone at the table wants the same thing. At LV Lending, doing things right isn’t a strategy — it’s how relationships get built, and why they last. In a market where capital sources come and go, staying power matters. That philosophy has defined LV Lending’s approach from the beginning: rigorous underwriting standards, transparency throughout the process, and a focus on long-term outcomes over short-term volume. With eight consecutive years of industry recognition and a growing portfolio of relationships across South Florida’s commercial real estate landscape, LV Lending enters 2026 continuing to expand its reach while staying true to the fundamentals that built it.
