$11,355,000 Acquisition Loan for Single Tenant Office in Prime Downtown Location

Term: 3 Years with one, 5-year extension
Rate: Floating at 2.75% over 1-month LIBOR
Amortization: 25 years
Prepayment Penalty: 1% for the first 24 months, open thereafter
LTC: 70%
Origination Fee: 1.0%
Guaranty: Recourse

George Smith Partners arranged the acquisition financing for a single tenant office located in the downtown area of a top Southern California market. The tenant is a private technology company that has 2 years remaining on their lease term. Due to the short lease term, GSP structured in reserves for tenant improvements, leasing commissions, and interest payments in the event that the tenant decides to vacate. If the tenant signs a new lease, the reserves that were held back will be released to the Sponsor. The lender was able to get comfortable with funding the reserves since the tenant is currently paying below-market rents and the property should see an increase in value with higher implemented rents at lease expiration. The financing has a 3-year term and carries a 5-year extension option that can be executed once the tenancy has been finalized and certain financial metrics have been realized. The recourse loan has an initial funding of $8,990,000 and is sized to 70% of total cost, floating at a rate of 2.75% over the one month LIBOR.  The additional future funding for re-tenanting the building is not charged interest until drawn.

  • $1,420,000 in Acquisition Financing for Credit Single Tenant Building

    March 8, 2017

    Transaction Description:
    George Smith Partners secured $1,420,000 in acquisition financing for a single tenant building in Atwater, California. The tenant is a national bank with a strong credit rating and has seven years remaining on the lease with extension options available. The Sponsor wanted to put long term fixed-rate financing on the property. GSP was able to identify a capital source that would provide a 10-year term, even though the tenant rolls within that period. The interest rate is fixed at 4.375% for the first 6 years of the loan. The rate then resets and is fixed again for the last 4 years, with a maximum increase of 50 basis points above the original rate (4.875%). This ensures that the Sponsor has a fixed rate throughout the entirety of the 10-year term, and eliminates interest rate risk. Loan proceeds were constrained by a 1.25x DSCR on a 25 year amortization.

    Rate: 4.375% Fixed for first 6 years; 4.875% Fixed for final 4 years
    Term: 10 Years
    Amortization: 25 Year Amortization
    LTV: 61%
    Recourse
    Lender Fee: None
