The developer required the finance to acquire existing offices and fund the conversion of 154 apartments in Worthing.
The brokerage was able to secure £14m of senior debt from Brydg Capital and £4.4m of junior debt from Rubicon.
The 77% LTGDV loan had a blended rate of 9%, with an arrangement fee of 1% and exit fee of 1.5%.
“It's been a privilege to act on behalf of our long-standing client, English Rose Estates,” said Edward Horn-Smith, managing director at Arc & Co.
“Brydg and Rubicon showed their experience in this transaction, adapting to unforeseen changes and meeting agreed timelines.
“I look forward to working with them both again soon.”
