Transaction Overview
George Smith Partners placed an $11,000,000 non-recourse construction loan for the ground up development of 40 multi-family units in the Conejo Valley sub-market of Los Angeles County. The area has high barriers to entry for new product in regards to entitlements and design review, and took several years to gain all necessary approvals. As a result this project will be the first new development that has broken ground in the sub-market since 2004. Equipped with sub-2% market vacancy, GSP secured a non-recourse loan with an institutional capital provider at leverage of 75% LTC and priced at LIBOR + 375. The loan also provides for extension options and has no prepayment penalty.
