Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Mergers And Acquisitions.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Feb. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sunrise Realty Trust, Inc. (“SUNS” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SUNS), a lender on the Tannenbaum Capital Group (“TCG”) Real Estate platform, today announced that it has originated, closed, and exited a $14.0 million commitment to a $21.6 million senior bridge loan to finance the acquisition of the western portion (11,000 acres) of Silver Mountain Ranch, a landmark property located in Huerfano County, Colorado (the “Property”). The borrower, JW Cattle Ranch LLC, is a specialized land investor and operator with extensive experience in the region. The loan facilitated the borrower’s acquisition of the Property from The Nature Conservancy, a global environmental non-profit organization. The Property is protected by a conservation easement, ensuring the preservation of its natural habitat while allowing for private ownership.

Silver Mountain Ranch is located south of Denver near the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and is renowned for its world-class hunting, including record-book quality elk and Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep.

To finance the expansion to a larger contiguous parcel of approximately 15,000 acres, the loan was structured as a short-term bridge facility of up to six months, dependent on the closing of the contractual sale to the buyer.

“This transaction exemplifies our ability to identify and execute on unique, customized and highly structured opportunities that both satisfies a sponsor’s abbreviated closing timeline and provides SUNS with attractive, risk-adjusted returns,” said Brian Sedrish, Chief Executive Officer of SUNS. “The credit profile of this loan was exceptionally strong, underpinned by a comprehensive set of guarantees and a clear, contractually secured exit strategy involving a premier institutional-quality buyer. We are pleased to support a sponsor with such deep expertise in this asset class while delivering attractive risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders.”
