Charlotte, NC – August 20, 2026
Sentinel Grove Partners today announced the successful payoff and full return of capital, along with all accrued returns, for the private lending facility deployed through SG Financial Partners, LLC (the Lender). The capital was utilized by Garrisonville Road Realty, LLC (the Borrower) to fund the construction and development of a new retail location for a premier national credit tenant in Stafford County, Virginia.
The loan supported the development of a pad site positioned at the high-visibility, signalized intersection of Garrisonville Road (Route 610) and Shelton Shop Road. Situated directly across from Parkside Plaza and North Stafford High School, the completed project successfully established a prime retail location along one of the county’s primary commercial corridors.
“We are thrilled to announce the successful conclusion of this investment and the timely distribution of capital and returns to our investors,” said Derek L. Copeland, Principal of Sentinel Grove Partners. “This deal highlights our strategy in action, backing high-quality development projects tied to industry-leading national credit tenants. Delivering on our promise to balance capital preservation with strong, reliable returns reinforces our commitment to precision-built investing.”
“Sentinel Grove got this deal done from ground-break to pay off, and they did it right” said George Morgan, manager of the Borrower. “Lending’s been tough the last couple years, and it hasn’t gotten any easier. But these guys showed up, stayed disciplined, and didn’t blink when things got hard. That’s rare, and it’s why I trust them. Looking forward to doing a lot more together.”
