Transaction Overview
George Smith Partners successfully arranged non-recourse, floating-rate bridge debt on an 85%+ occupied but under performing portfolio of multi-tenant office properties located in Orange County. The portfolio includes four newly acquired office properties and the retiring of a loan encumbering a fifth office property owned by the client. Proceeds of the loan will be used to reposition all of the properties through the implementation of a strategic renovation and leasing program. In addition, the terms of the loan provide the partnership with the autonomy to execute its value-add strategy as well as the flexibility to distribute operating cash flow along with net sales proceeds resulting from the sale of properties thereby maximizing the portfolio-level returns.
