Transaction Overview
GSP successfully placed $13,700,000 in first mortgage financing for completion of construction on an approximately 10,000 square foot luxury single-family residence in Beverly Hills. The 12-month initial term has two three-month extension options with a 0.375% fee payable per extension, and Interest Only payments during the life of the loan. If the loan is paid off in less than nine months, the sponsor benefits from a 0.25% rebate on the 1.0% lender loan origination fee.
The loan funds up to 70% of lender-approved costs and the interest rate floats at 1-Month LIBOR plus 6.1% (8.0% coupon at closing). The cash neutral transaction allowed the sponsor to refinance out of a prior construction loan and release $1,500,000 from a pledge account with the prior lender in order to free up equity.
The offshore sponsor provided a completion guaranty and a repayment guaranty capped at $5,000,000.
