$11,700,000 Non-Recourse Acquisition Financing on a San Diego County Shopping Center with Near-Term Anchor Roll

Rate: 4.52%, Fixed
Term: 10 years
Amortization: 5 Years Interest Only; 30 Year Amortization thereafter
Prepayment: Defeasance
Lender Fee: Par
Guaranty: Non-Recourse

GSP successfully placed $11,700,000 of non-recourse, ten-year fixed rate first mortgage debt for the acquisition of a 75,000 square foot Southern California multi-tenant retail property anchored by a regional Hispanic grocer and national discount retailer.  The 1970’s vintage property is 100% occupied and the two 25,000 square foot anchor tenants who comprise 67% of total collateral square footage.  The national discount retailer pays below market rent and its lease expires in 2018 with no renewal options, providing significant potential upside for equity and cash flow risk for debt.  GSP highlighted strong anchor sales and an experienced sponsor with extensive retail tenant relationships in order to get the lender comfortable sizing to a 7.7% debt yield.  The non-recourse loan has a 4.52% fixed coupon and the 10-year term is interest only for the first five years, with a 30-year amortization schedule thereafter.

Pascale's Portrait
PASCALE'S PERSPECTIVE
Treasuries Moving Up (Again). Is this time “for real”?

The 10 year T yield spiked up to 2.41% today, the highest level since March.   Factors include:  (1) Recent Fed speeches indicate that they are “on track” for an increase in June and another increase before year end.  Also, there are more indications of shrinking the Fed balance sheet this year, increasing the supply of bonds in the private marketplace; (2) Supply/Demand dynamics – the Treasury is auctioning about $190 billion in treasuries and bidding was weaker than in recent auctions; (3) Inflation-Fed officials and others are dismissing recent weak inflation reports as seasonal in anticipation of inflation (finally) returning above 2.0%.  Also oil prices increased with their largest one day gain since December; (4) Washington – investors seem to be unconcerned with unpredictability stemming from the firing of FBI Director Comey yesterday.   The eruption of inter-party hostility after the dismissal can be interpreted as increasing the difficulty of passing major legislation (taxes, infrastructure, etc).   So far, that risk doesn’t seem to be priced in. Stay tuned. By David R. Pascale, Jr. , Senior Vice President at George Smith Partners.
