Transaction Description:

George Smith Partners successfully arranged $3,000,000 in a cash-out permanent refinance secured by the sandwich leasehold interest in a single-tenant leased office building in Irvine, California. The Subject Property is in the heart of Orange County’s business district and next to the Irvine Business Complex and John Wayne Airport. The neighborhood is in a mature stage with limited amount of vacant land available for new development. The Property consists of three multi-story buildings having 69,474 SF net rentable space.

The Subject Property is encumbered by a ground lease. The leasehold interest, ground lease, and tenant improvement lease all expire in five years, with no extension options. The non-investment grade tenant has a six year lease remaining and they are not required to provide business financials.

GSP identified a capital provider able to structure a five year fully amortizing loan. The Sponsor’s considerable real estate track record and financial strength further encouraged the Lender to provide a low interest rate. The recourse loan is fixed at 3.00% with a 5-year term and will be fully amortized in five years.
