BHI Provides $27M Construction Loan for Richmond MXU Project

New York-based commercial bank BHI has provided a $26.5 million construction loan for the redevelopment of 629 E. Main St. in Richmond. The property, which is currently a 12-story office building, will be converted into a mixed-use property.

The developer, Douglas Development Corp., plans to convert the property into 188 rental units with studios, one- and two- bedroom apartments as well as 132,806 square feet of additional commercial space. The property was originally constructed in 1922 and is located less than a mile from the Virginia State Capitol building.

BHI is the U.S. operation of Israel-based Bank Hapoalim. 629 Main Street is the second transaction that BHI has funded for Douglas Development Corp.
