$9,300,000 Construction Loan, 80% LTC, L + 2.75%, 32 Unit Multi-Family Development, Los Angeles, CA

Proceeds: $9,300,000
Rate: LIBOR + 2.75%
Term: 3+1+1
LTC: 80% LTC
Origination Fee: 0.75%
Recourse: Yes

Transaction Description

George Smith Partners secured $9,300,000 for the ground-up development of a 32-unit multifamily building in the Koreatown neighborhood of Los Angeles. The 5-story project will include a mix of 1 and 2 bedroom units with gated subterranean parking. Sized to 80% of actual costs, the 36-month term carries two – 1-year options and is priced at 2.75% over LIBOR.

Our Sponsor requested maximum loan proceeds which would require the acceptance of imputed equity. George Smith Partners identified a Los Angeles based construction lender that understood the value that had been created with re-entitlements and permitting since the property was initially acquired four years ago. This capital provider agreed to value the land at current 2018 values as opposed to the acquisition price. The bank ordered appraisal valued the land at over 3x the Sponsor’s 2014 purchase price and imputed equity was utilized in calculating the Sponsor’s equity contribution. No additional funds were required at closing.

  • Bridge Financing for a 15-Unit Multifamily Property; West Los Angeles

    June 14, 2023

    Transaction Description:

    George Smith Partners has successfully renegotiated the construction debt on a $10,000,000 construction loan on a 15-Unit multifamily property in West Los Angeles.

    Challenge:

    GSP arranged the original fixed-rate construction loan with a debt fund in 1Q-2020, prior to the Covid moratoria. However, due to the uncertainty of the supply of labor and materials during the pandemic, the Sponsor decided to delay vertical construction for about one year which delayed the lease-up and stabilization thereby reducing the remaining term which reached maturity in May 2023.

    Despite the Sponsor’s willingness to pay down the indebtedness, GSP determined that a restructuring of the existing debt would be more cost effective than bringing in additional equity.

    Solution:

    GSP was able to negotiate with the construction Lender to convert its loan into a one-year bridge facility. The Lender increased the interest rate by 50 bps but did not charge a new origination fee. Hopefully, in one year, the financing markets will improve and an $8,000,000 loan at more conventional pricing will be available.

    Rate: 10.75%
    Fee: Par
    Term: 1 Year
    Min Interest: 6 Months
    Guaranty: Non-recourse

  • $85,800,000 Senior Construction-to-Perm Financing for a 372-Unit Multifamily Project; Sacramento, CA

    May 16, 2023

    Transaction Description:

    George Smith Partners successfully arranged $85,800,000 in construction financing for a 10-building, 372-unit multifamily development in Sacramento, CA. The project is located in an opportunity zone of Sacramento and is phase A of a 2,200-unit, transit-oriented development. Breaking ground in Q2 2023, this phase of the development will consist of studios, one, two, and three-bedroom apartments with best-in-class amenities, including a pool, fitness center, playground, and clubhouse.

    The Sponsor engaged GSP pre-pandemic. A previous developer had acquired the land in the early 2000s and after completing 95% of the site’s infrastructure, subsequently filed for bankruptcy protection in 2017. The site was given back to the lender in early 2019 and was awarded to the Sponsor by the urging of the City of Sacramento because of their local reputation related to successful projects in the downtown sub-market. Our Sponsor originally intended to begin construction in early 2020 but decided to pivot layout designs to match the new needs of its renters due to the pandemic.

    After an extensive capital marketing process, GSP was able to secure financing to the Sponsor’s parameters with the upside of not having a rate cap requirement. The financing structure is also unique in that it transitions from an interest-only period to a traditional permanent fully amortizing financing automatically after month 48. Early prepayment is available even during the construction period and then steps down until a fully open prepay year 4 after CofO.

    Rate: 1-Month SOFR + 3.50%
    Term: 15 Years
    Amortization: Interest Only for First 4 Years, then 30 Year Amortization
    LTC: 61%
    LTV: 55%
    Guaranty: Full Recourse with Burn-Off to 20% at CofO

  • $33,800,000 Construction Loan for 83-Unit Multifamily Property with 50% Co-living Units; Los Angeles, CA

    May 3, 2023

    Transaction Description:

    George Smith Partners secured $33,800,000 of senior construction financing for the development of an 83-unit ground-up multifamily building in an infill Los Angeles location. The 83 units will be comprised of 50% conventional units and 50% co-living units. While the property is in an A+ location, many lenders were uncomfortable with co-living in general. GSP was not only able to find a lender that was comfortable with the product type but was also able to get to almost 70% of total project cost. The lender also gave the borrower credit for the entitled value of the land as opposed to their acquisition cost from the year prior. The land equity contributed a significant portion of the total equity required.

    The construction loan was priced at Prime + 0.75% and the loan term is 18 months plus one 6-month extension option.

    Rate: Prime + 0.75%
    Term: 24 Months with Two 6-Month Options to Extend
    LTC: 68%
    Stabilized LTV: 55%
    Guaranty: Recourse

  • $8,500,000 Construction Financing for 35-Unit Apartment Building; Los Angeles, CA

    April 26, 2023

    Transaction Description:

    George Smith Partners secured $8,500,000 of senior construction financing for the development of a 35-unit ground-up multifamily building in Los Angeles, California. GSP was sourcing financing when banks were getting increasingly conservative in their underwriting, with leverage falling and compensating deposits required. Given the strong track record of the developer, GSP identified a bank that was able to maximize the leverage with no deposits held at the bank. The Sponsor was also able to use land equity in the capital stack.

    The construction loan was priced at Prime + 1.25%. The loan term is 18 months plus one 6-month extension option.

    Rate: Prime +1.25%, with a Floor of 6.50%
    Term: 18 Months with One 6-month Option to Extend
    LTC: 65%

  • Construction Multifamily Takeout Financing; Los Angeles, CA

    December 15, 2022

    Transaction Description:

    George Smith Partners arranged permanent financing for the refinance of a stabilized 12-unit multifamily property in Los Angeles, California. The Sponsor finished construction on the Property in the middle of the current rate hike cycle. GSP identified a Capital Provider who allowed an early rate lock before Certificate of Occupancy was issued. The Lender allowed the borrower to go into application with very little lease up, but with the understanding that the property would be stabilized by closing. Although the closing took slightly longer than the 60 day term of the rate lock, the Lender held the rate for no additional charge. The bank did not require deposits to be held at their branch except for the subject property’s operating account.

    Rate: 4.65%
    Term: 5 Years Fixed
    Amortization: N/A, Interest Only for all 5 Years
    Prepayment Penalty: Stepdown; 3/3/2/1/1
