Transaction Description:
George Smith Partners successfully advised on $47,000,000 in construction financing and $16,500,000 in JV Equity for the development of two multifamily communities, totaling 213 units with 184,900 of net rentable square feet located in Garden City, a submarket of Boise, ID. The Sponsors have a long-term bias toward the market, having completed over $75,000,000 in financing in the area. This transformative Project is a key component of their overall master plan and vision for Downtown Garden City.
GSP worked through several strategies to source the right non-recourse financing terms and joint-venture equity partner for the ground-up multifamily community. Ultimately, GSP successfully obtained several financing options. The Sponsor selected a life-company lender with exceptional terms and a joint venture equity capital partner with a long-term partnership vision.
The Sponsor projects a timely delivery and lease-up period of the Project in late 2022. The demand for housing remains robust in Garden City due to the continued tailwinds, driven by the influx of individuals seeking housing in Idaho.

$39,000,000 Construction Debt and Advised on $20,000,000 LP Equity for Seven-Story, 137-Unit Mixed-Use Development; Midtown Sacramento, CA
November 23, 2021
Transaction Description:
George Smith Partners successfully placed $39,000,000 in construction debt and advised on $20,000,000 Limited Partner equity for the ground up construction of 137-unit mixed-use development with ground floor retail in Midtown Sacramento, CA. The Project is the second asset that GSP has structured both debt and equity for a sequence of planned multifamily developments. Pricing for the non-recourse construction loan tightened from the first transaction six months ago.
The site will be developed into a seven-story building consisting of six levels of rental units, parking, and ground floor retail. Situated in Midtown, Sacramento’s trendiest neighborhood, the Property is walking distance to restaurants, shops and is conveniently positioned near the rail station and a local highway. The area has increasingly attracted significant public and private investment due to its proximity to employment hubs and lifestyle amenities.
The capital markets were weary of ongoing supply chain and increasing construction costs. GSP worked with the Lender and equity investor to structure contingency levels that were acceptable to both. The Sponsor was provided with competitive, non-recourse construction loan and an investor that could grow with their future development needs.
