$14,400,000 L+2.95% Acquisition and Reposition Financing for a Single-Tenant Office with Event Risk

Rate: L + 2.95; 3.48% at Close
Term: 42-month w/ one 12-month extension
Amortization: Interest only until stabilization
LTC: 65% total loan-to-cost
Prepayment: None
Guaranty: Top-End Recourse
Lender Fee: 1%

Transaction Description: George Smith Partners successfully placed $14,400,000 in acquisition and reposition financing to acquire a 30,400 square foot West Los Angeles office building currently occupied by a single tenant with rolling annual termination options. Our Sponsor’s business plan assumes the current tenant will exercise one of their annual termination options; allowing for a building renovation and conversion to a multi-tenant creative office building with ground floor retail. The tenant, through extensions, may choose to continue to occupy this location and is not obligated to vacate during the initial 3½ year loan term. George Smith Partners sourced a flexible lender comfortable executing on the transaction regardless of the tenant’s occupancy status. Sized to 65% of total project cost, this financing is priced at 2.95% over one-month LIBOR despite the potential for zero cash flow should the tenant choose to vacate. Our Capital Provider underwrote and will fund 100% of creative office conversion and re-tenanting costs. Interest is not paid on this additional $4,400,000 funding until drawn.

  • $16,600,000 Permanent Financing Loan for a Historic Office and Retail Building in Downtown Pasadena

    February 15, 2024

    Transaction Description: 

    George Smith Partners successfully arranged a 5-year, non-recourse, interest only loan for a 91% occupied, multi-tenant office building in the Pasadena Playhouse District. While the building was originally built as traditional office, the basement has been converted to a 2-story gym with a pool, and two of the upper floors contained a cooking school which is now being used as a commissary to manufacture food for distribution. The special-use nature of the space provided a challenge in today’s market. GSP worked with a lender to validate the financial strengths of the tenants and their need to be in this building. While most office building refinances require new cash to be invested at closing, GSP was able to negotiate a small amount of cash-out that the Sponsor is allowed to use for any future leasing requirements. This is the third time that GSP has financed the building, for two separate owners.

  • $4,500,000 Owner User Office/Industrial Refinance; Los Angeles, CA

    June 28, 2023

    Transaction Description:

    George Smith Partners successfully secured $4,500,000 to refinance a mixed-use office and industrial property in Los Angeles, CA. Our Sponsor had contacted one of his relationship banks to refinance his headquarters building. With the current crisis in lending, they were not able to provide a satisfactory refinance. The Sponsor then engaged GSP to secure financing. In reviewing the Sponsor’s financials, GSP identified significant growth and was able to secure a much larger cash-out refinance of the sponsor’s facility.

    Using our relationships and experience, GSP identified an international bank that was able to provide a more aggressive rate and larger proceeds than the other lenders in the market. In 35 days, GSP was able to close this cash-out refinance at a fixed rate of 5.61% for 5 years, with 12 months of interest-only payments.

    Rate: 5.61% Fixed
    Term: 5 Years
    Amortization: 25 Years

  • $9,000,000 Bridge Financing for 100,000 SF Single Tenant Office; Inland Empire, CA

    March 2, 2023

    Transaction Description:

    George Smith Partners arranged $9,000,000 in bridge financing to refinance a single-tenant office property in the Inland Empire. The Property has been nearly 100% leased to a county entity for 20 years, with lease renewals every 5-7 years. The Sponsor is leaving the unused space vacant in order to attract a single-tenant government lease buyer. GSP had arranged CMBS financing on the property in 2012 that came due in late 2022. Due to the timing in getting a new lease executed, the Sponsor asked for and received a short extension from the lender/servicer. GSP sourced a bridge lender that was poised to fund upon execution of the lease and estoppel. The loan paid off the existing loan and provided funds for tenant improvements mandated in the lease extension. It also gives the Sponsor maximum flexibility to sell or refinance over the next 2 years.

    Rate: 10.50% Fixed for Year 1, then Floating over SOFR for Year 2
    LTV: 65%
    Term: 10 Years
    Amortization: Interest Only
    Yield Maintenance: 6 Months Minimum Interest, then Open
    Origination Fee: 1%

  • $15,000,000 SBA Acquisition Financing for an Office Property; Beverly Hills, CA

    February 21, 2023

    Transaction Description:

    George Smith Partners arranged $15,000,000 in SBA owner-user acquisition financing for a multi-tenant office property located in Beverly Hills, CA. The Sponsor approached GSP for assistance in acquiring the building they had been occupying as a tenant for many years past. Instead of losing cash to rent, they decided to invest in ownership. The Sponsor had tried securing both conventional owner-user and SBA financing on their own before reaching out to GSP but was unsuccessful. This was primarily due to the state of the market with lenders having a pessimistic outlook on office, and the SBA eligibility requirements becoming increasingly more difficult to meet since the COVID pandemic.

    Upon getting the assignment, GSP quickly put together a concise and marketable package that would present well to both conventional lenders and the SBA. GSP used their expertise to source attractive terms for the Sponsor and structured a total loan facility equal to 88% of the purchase price, at a sub-5% blended rate.

    Additionally, GSP managed to lock the senior portion of the loan despite the volatile interest rate market and quickly worked toward SBA approval to lock the rate on the SBA portion before the next month’s rate hike.

    Securing high leverage and keeping the Sponsor’s equity investment low was crucial to ensure the Sponsor could keep the majority of their liquidity in hand for their operations and potential property renovations. Thanks to GSP, the Sponsor successfully purchased the building with financing terms that exceeded their expectations.

    Senior Loan: $10,000,000
    SBA: $5,000,000
    Rate: Senior Loan: 4.92%
    SBA: 4.87%
    Term: 25 Years
    LTPP: 88%
    Prepayment: 5-5-4-4-3-3-2-2-1-1

  • $39,400,000 Acquisition Financing for Five-Building Suburban Office Campus; Southern California

    November 16, 2022

    Transaction Description:

    George Smith Partners successfully placed two simultaneous loans to acquire a five-building office campus in Laguna Hills, California. The 84% occupied Property sits on a 16-acre site adjacent to a reservoir and contains ample parking (4:1000 square feet). The Properties were built in the late 1980s and completely renovated in 2016-2018. GSP structured the financings to fit the Sponsor’s business plan which involved separating the collateral into a two-building bridge loan and a three-building CMBS loan. These loans allow the Sponsor to place long-term, fixed-rate debt on the stable assets while keeping shorter-term debt on the more transitional buildings.

    Loan 1 (3 Buildings): $24,800,000 of non-recourse, seven-year fixed rate first mortgage CMBS debt for the acquisition of three of the office buildings (total 158,000 square feet) which are 84% leased. GSP sourced a lender able to provide seven-year, non-recourse financing and the ability to close with a complicated DST (Delaware Statutory Trust) equity structure in a tight timeframe. The loan was sized to a 9.00% debt yield, 59% LTV, or 1.60x debt service coverage ratio on the 5.93% fixed rate coupon. The Sponsor bought down the interest rate.

    Loan 2 (2 buildings) $14,600,000 of non-recourse, 75% LTV, bridge financing for the acquisition of the remaining two office buildings (total 66,000 square feet), which are 79% leased with upcoming tenant rollover. GSP identified a Lender that could provide 75% leverage and a flexible 24-month loan term with three 12-month extensions. The loan is priced at 5.95% + 1 Month Term SOFR and is non-recourse. GSP was able to identify a lending source that not only understood the market and demand for office space in the market.
