Lument Provides $9.5 Million Acquisition Financing for Florida Shopping Center

New York, NY - June 10, 2026 - Lument today announces the placement of a $9.5 million life company loan to facilitate the acquisition of Shoppes at Sweetwater, a 64,000-square-foot Publix-anchored neighborhood shopping center in Wekiwa Springs, Florida within Seminole County. Lument Senior Director John Christen led the transaction.

"Collaborating with repeat clients Graphic Real Estate and RGA Reinsurance Company was a pleasure, as we successfully negotiated an outcome that has ample benefits for both parties," Christen said.

Graphic Real Estate is a boutique commercial real estate investment and advisory platform specializing in grocery-anchored retail. RGA Reinsurance Company is a global business focused primarily on life- and health-related reinsurance solutions.

The life company loan has a fixed interest rate, seven-year term, and 30-year amortization, with three years of interest-only.

"The life company financing provided an ideal solution, as it facilitates the acquisition of Shoppes at Sweetwater as well as two additional parcels, one with a McDonald's on a pad lease, and the other vacant land for future development or sale," added Christen.

Shoppes at Sweetwater serves an affluent suburban community within the Orlando area. The market has many positives, including strong tourism and employment trends and high barriers to new grocery supply.

The closing reflects Lument's continued investment in its debt capital markets platform, including the expansion of life company lending capabilities and enhanced execution support for clients. Since launching the platform in 2024, Lument has placed nearly $2 billion across life company, CMBS, debt fund, and bank financing for borrowers nationwide
