$28,500,000 Non-Recourse Acquisition Financing on a Newly Stabilized Class-A 208 Unit Multifamily Property in Dallas, Texas

Transaction Description: George Smith Partners successfully structured non-recourse acquisition financing on a 2015 constructed Class-A multifamily property coming out of lease up in Dallas, Texas. The property is located in a submarket with rising concessions and flattening rents due in part to significant supply coming online and seasonality. In order to provide the best execution for the sponsor in an unstable credit market, GSP identified a balance sheet lender whose confidence in the strong macro-market fundamentals allowed them to size the loan to a 7% in place debt yield despite the lack of operating history. The lender did not require an appraisal and locked rate at loan application, which minimized execution risk in a volatile interest rate environment. The seven year loan has a fixed coupon at the 7-year Treasury plus a spread of 1.95%, with one-year interest only before converting to a 30-year amortization schedule, allowing the borrower to maximize cash flow while the property continues to stabilize and concessions burn off. The loan has a flexible pre-payment schedule with four years yield maintenance then converting to a step down pre-payment schedule of 1.0%, 0.5%, 0.0% for the remaining three years of the loan term.
