Transaction Overview
George Smith Partners successfully arranged a $2,800,000 non-recourse, short term acquisition loan for a 4.21-acre parcel near Stevenson Ranch in the Santa Clarita Valley of California. The Sponsor needed financing in a very short timeframe. GSP was able to source a private lender who closed in three business days. The loan offers 60 days of bridge term while the Borrower seeks a construction-to-permanent solution for a fully entitled, six-building, 966-unit, climate controlled, Class-A self-storage facility expected to complete construction in late 2020. The loan is non-recourse and the Lender did not require an appraisal or other third-party reports, thanks to the low leverage and strength of the Sponsor.
