Cannabis industry lender Chicago Atlantic Real Estate Finance says it led a $30 million senior secured credit facility to an unidentified vertically integrated medical marijuana company in Florida.
Chicago Atlantic said it had funded $17.5 million of its $22.5 million commitment to the company.
While saying it led the funding, Chicago Atlantic did not identify any other participants.
The Florida company will use the loan to build a new cultivation and processing facility, repay other debt and build more than 20 dispensaries over the next two years, according to a Chicago Atlantic news release issued Wednesday.
In a statement, Chicago Atlantic CEO Tony Cappell described Florida’s medical cannabis market as “attractive,” based on its limited license structure and growing patient count.
