Transaction Description:
George Smith Partners arranged a $19,900,000 CMBS acquisition loan for the purchase of the Burbank Collection, a 39,000SF retail condominium located in Burbank, CA. The Burbank Collection houses well-known food concepts such as Yard House, Panera Bread, Pinkberry, and Boiling Crab along with Barney’s Beanery and Steak ‘N Shake. The Class-A ground floor retail space underlies 118 residential condominium units, is situated on a pedestrian promenade and is shadow-anchored by the AMC Burbank 16 movie theater, one of the highest grossing AMC theaters in the country.
GSP’s extensive lender relationships allowed for the marketing of this financing to many different banks and life insurance companies as well as CMBS lenders. The most challenging hurdle at the outset with each lender was to make them comfortable with the condominium structure. Prior to the signing of the lender’s loan application, GSP requested that the Lender’s legal counsel engage in a full review of condominium documents to ensure that the Lender would be comfortable with the intricacies of condominium ownership.
After the loan was in application the 10-Year Treasury and Swap indices dropped approximately 40 bps below the rate floor set in the loan application. GSP’s long-term relationship and track record with the Lender gave GSP the negotiating leverage to convince themto drop the rate floor. This effectively split the benefit of the rate decrease with our Sponsor.
GSP obtained maximum proceeds as the loan was sized to 76.5% of purchase price and 75% of value. The all-in interest rate was priced at 157 bps over 10 Yr Swaps and includes three years of interest-only payments.
