Unanchored Center Bridge Loans Nationally ($2M–$10M): Fixed Rates Near 6.51%

Based on soft-quote and term-sheet loan quotes on unanchored shopping center properties, priced as bridge financing, nationally from January through June 2026 — the deepest single asset-type segment available in Lev's bridge loan quote data. Spread-over-index quotes (SOFR, Treasury, or Prime) are resolved to an all-in rate using the index value as of each quote's date where available, or the current published rate as a fallback.

Fixed-rate quotes in this pool run from 5.88% to 7.00%, with a median of 6.51%. Floating-rate quotes, presented separately, range from 6.12% to 8.35%, with a median of 7.02%. LTV spans 60% to 75%, and DSCR requirements run from 1.20x to 1.35x. Of the quotes where recourse type was specified, most carry full recourse, with a smaller share carrying partial recourse; separately, a majority carry personal recourse guarantees rather than non-recourse structures.

Geographically, this pool splits fairly evenly between Illinois, California, and Georgia.

Amortization schedules most commonly run 300 months (25 years), with a smaller share using 360 months (30 years) or 240 months (20 years). An interest-only period is present on roughly half of these quotes, ranging from 12 to 24 months. Loan sizes in this pool range from $2,100,000 to $9,500,000, with a median loan amount of $2,600,000. Nearly all of these quotes are structured as light bridge loans, with a single heavy bridge quote in the pool.
