Charlotte, NC – February 23, 2026
Sentinel Grove is pleased to announce the extension of a private lending opportunity through CFA Financial Partners I, LLC (the “Lender”). The capital will be deployed to Garrisonville Road Realty, LLC (the “Borrower”) to fund the construction and development of a new Chick-fil-A restaurant located at a premier signalized intersection in Stafford County, Virginia.
The project involves the development of a highly visible pad site at the intersection of Garrisonville Road (Route 610) and Shelton Shop Road. Positioned along one of Stafford County’s most bustling commercial corridors, the site ensures exceptional traffic visibility and accessibility.
