WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Oct. 27, 2025 (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 committed $30.0 million to a $45.0 million senior bridge loan originated by TCG Real Estate for the refinancing of a 7-story Class-A retail property in the Galleria sector of Houston, Texas (the “Project”). Affiliated lenders on the TCG Real Estate platform committed the remaining $15.0 million. The Project is a joint venture between John M. Scott III, an experienced leader and industry veteran in hospitality and leisure real estate, and WoodHouse, a luxury hospitality developer founded by Brady Wood.
Located at the intersection of two of Houston’s most desirable areas, Galleria and River Oaks, the Project is 100% fully-leased to an impressive mix of complementary, high-end lifestyle establishments: Park House Houston – a private social club offering extensive cultural programming, dining, socializing and working spaces; Ciel Restaurant – an upscale restaurant and lounge serving Japanese-French cuisine with live music and entertainment; and Fountain Life Longevity Center – a leading-edge healthcare facility co-founded by Tony Robbins that provides advanced AI diagnostics, regenerative medicine and restorative therapeutics.
“Our investment in this project reflects deep conviction in both the property and the market. With its central location in Houston’s most sought-after neighborhoods, a fully leased roster of high-performing tenants, and strong demographic tailwinds, this project is ideally positioned to capture outsized demand,” said Brian Sedrish, Chief Executive Officer of SUNS. “We’re pleased to provide financing that supports the continued growth of a property we believe will remain among the market’s top performers,” he added.
