Transaction Description:

George Smith Partners secured $12,790,000 in non-recourse acquisition bridge financing for the heavy reposition of a 1980s vintage shopping center in the Paradise Valley submarket of Phoenix, Arizona. The value-added property had a vacating grocery anchor tenant, low occupancy rates and below market rents. The Sponsor’s business plan was to acquire the asset with a fitness tenant anchor in tow and then reposition and stabilize the remainder of the center.

Sized to 80% of total project cost, the loan includes a future funding facility to cover tenant improvements, leasing commissions and capital expenditures. The rate floats at 1 Month LIBOR plus 4.25% (approximately 6.75% today) and carries a two year term with two one year extension options. Interest is not charged on the holdback until funds are drawn. The Lender was able to accommodate several changes to the business plan throughout the application process. This included relocating several existing tenants within the center due to a conflict presented in existing tenant leases.
