Transaction Overview
George Smith Partners successfully placed $31,633,000 in permanent financing for an office building in the Salt Lake City area amidst election uncertainty and COVID-19. In particular, pandemic restrictions and the proliferation of “work from home” concerned many lenders that office may face a very slow recovery. Although the Building’s sole tenant was non-credit, their long lease term and exceptionally strong financials motivated the Lender to provide a competitive quote. Well-located in a fast-growing market, GSP structured loan terms that were highly conducive to the Sponsor’s long-term plan and guided the transaction to an expedient closing.
