Deal Announcement

$49MM USDA Financing

Vertical Harvest Farms

USDA B&I
Maine

Waterside closes $49MM in USDA-guaranteed debt within a $90MM construction-to-permanent facility for a multi-story vertical farm in Westbrook, Maine.

Trusted by founders and operators who build big

When USDA program funds hit a pause during the federal budget cycle, our project was stuck in limbo. Waterside stepped in with a bridge-to-USDA solution that kept operations moving and pulled our closing forward. That speed gave us certainty and a clear path to permanent USDA capital.

Jim Halpert

CEO Controlled Environment Agriculture Company

We worked with other USDA Rural Development program experts who told us our project couldn't proceed due to NEPA issues. Waterside's experience and understanding of regulations got us approved. Without that expertise, the project would never have qualified.

Will Morrow

CFO Vertical Harvest

Our project needed to bridge ITC equity before permanent USDA debt was available. Waterside used EB-5 as preferred equity to bridge that gap, unlocking capital when other lenders couldn't. That creativity kept us on track and fully financed.
