Transaction Overview
George Smith Partners secured $1,420,000 in acquisition financing for a single tenant building in Atwater, California. The tenant is a national bank with a strong credit rating and has seven years remaining on the lease with extension options available. The Sponsor wanted to put long term fixed-rate financing on the property. GSP was able to identify a capital source that would provide a 10-year term, even though the tenant rolls within that period. The interest rate is fixed at 4.375% for the first 6 years of the loan. The rate then resets and is fixed again for the last 4 years, with a maximum increase of 50 basis points above the original rate (4.875%). This ensures that the Sponsor has a fixed rate throughout the entirety of the 10-year term, and eliminates interest rate risk. Loan proceeds were constrained by a 1.25x DSCR on a 25 year amortization.
