Transaction Overview
GSP arranged the $13,130,000 first mortgage on two 1960’s vintage multifamily assets in the San Fernando Valley. The National Balance Sheet Lender provided a non-recourse loan at 75% of total project cost including 100% of future CapEx funds to complete an extensive interior and exterior renovation of $45,500 per unit. Interest expense is not incurred on CapEx funds until drawn. The 30-Day LIBOR plus 3.20% coupon requires interest rate risk protection throughout the term, and in order to minimize associated sponsor cost the Lender structured the initial term as two years, with three, one-year extensions and no hurdles or fees for the first extension. Due to low going-in cash flow, the Lender structured an interest reserve to cover debt service during the peak reposition period.
