SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. - eTradeWire -- Kennedy Funding, a leading global direct, private lender, closed a $2.85 million loan for a planned mixed-use development in a rapidly growing North Jersey municipality.

The lender closed the land loan at a 55% loan-to-value (LTV) ratio against two parcels totaling 2.20 acres located at 270 Irvington Avenue and 299 Irvington Avenue in South Orange, New Jersey.

"At Kennedy Funding, we want to maximize opportunity for every borrower, which is not always easy when securing a land loan," said Mark Falzone, Executive Loan Officer at Kennedy Funding and the lead executive on the deal. "Our experience closing billions in land loans gives us the experience and knowledge necessary to help borrowers capitalize on as much value as possible from their properties."

The two lots were purchased in an all-cash deal for $5.1 million in August 2025. When completed, the mixed-use complex will feature 61 residential units and several commercial spaces across three buildings. Construction is set to begin in 2027.
