Beaufort, SC – May 8, 2025 – MCM Partners, a Charlotte-based private investment firm specializing in commercial real estate debt and equity for qualified accredited investors, proudly announces the successful closing and return of capital on a private bridge loan offered to accredited investors. The loan, finalized on March 28, 2025, facilitated the acquisition of land in Beaufort, South Carolina, by an entity managed by The Morgan Companies (the “Borrower”). The property was subsequently sold by the Borrower to a medical group for a future hospital development.
Located across from Beaufort Station, a 200,000-square-foot grocery-anchored shopping center developed by The Morgan Companies featuring national credit retailers such as Aldi, Hobby Lobby, Old Navy, ULTA, PetSmart, HomeGoods, and T.J. Maxx, the property benefits from exceptional visibility and consumer traffic. Adjacent to a new 30+ acre multifamily development, the site is positioned within a thriving mixed-use corridor, making it an ideal location for Novant Health’s hospital, which will serve the region’s expanding population.
Derek Copeland, Principal of MCM Partners, stated, “We are thrilled to complete another successful private credit investment led by the professionals at The Morgan Companies. The return of capital on this short-term bridge loan demonstrates MCM Partners’ ability to deliver compelling fixed income opportunities for our accredited investors. Private credit offerings are in high demand, and we are proud to have delivered a very competitive annualized return with predictable monthly income to our valued investors while advancing essential services for the community.”
Jeff Surrency, Senior Development Partner for The Morgan Companies, added, “The sale of this strategically located property on a high-profile corridor marks a significant milestone in Beaufort’s growth as a premier destination for healthcare and commerce and will be instrumental to supporting the strong growth in the area. Our trusted partnership with MCM Partners enabled us to efficiently acquire and position this land for a development that will hopefully have a lasting impact on the region.”
The 15-month private bridge loan attracted accredited investors seeking secure, short-term investments in commercial real estate debt that is not correlated to traditional markets. The project’s strong fundamentals, bolstered by its prime location and proximity to a major retail hub, ensured its success, enabling MCM Partners to return capital to investors on schedule.
