$26,118,000 Mixed-Use Construction Loan Take-Out; Boise, ID

Transaction Description: George Smith Partners placed a ten-year permanent loan for “The Fowler”; a recently constructed 159 unit mixed use multifamily development in Boise, ID. GSP placed the construction loan in Spring 2016 and the Borrower received its final Certificate of Occupancy in March 2018. The Property has become one of the most architecturally significant buildings constructed in downtown Boise. It includes live work units as well as 4,000 square foot of retail.

Our Sponsor obtained +95% physical occupancy in September and was looking to secure a perm loan before year end. Given the rapid lease-up and forecasted rate increases, GSP was commissioned to source the construction loan take-out that would allow for a partial return of equity upon stabilized occupancy but with limited stabilized operating history.

Boise was recently named the fastest growing city in the United States, and the capital markets embraced the Boise MSA’s market dynamics by offering multiple aggressive sizing and pricing structures. Our Sponsor selected an option that allows for a “second bite” for an additional recapitalization once cash flows are further documented and supported by stronger historical operating history. Priced at 153 basis points over the Ten-Year Treasury, the full-term interest only loan allows for future secondary financing.
