FINfacts Date: 7/16/2008
Transaction Description:
$10,300,000 (75% LTC, Non-Recourse Debt) and $3,750,000 (85/15 Co-Investment, “Junior Loan”) for the Acquisition and Redevelopment of a 67,070 sq. ft. Class B Office Building in Long Beach, CA. GSP secured financing for the acquisition and redevelopment of a 78% occupied, Class B office building totaling 67,070 sq. ft. in Long Beach, CA, with 60% of the existing tenants rolling over the next three years. The acquisition was purchased off-market by experienced sponsors.

Challenge: A perceived softening of the office market in Long Beach made many lenders hesitant to fund an office reposition. Additionally, a drought of equity investors following the credit crunch further inhibited interest in the transaction.

Solution: GSP identified a lender comfortable with the Long Beach office market and able to fund the full capital stack of the transaction (up to 98% LTC).
