Transaction Overview
George Smith Partners has achieved a successful negotiation of a Programmatic Joint Venture Equity Structure amounting to $5,300,000. This arrangement will fund two affordable multifamily developments in The District of Columbia, involving the renovation of 25 existing units and the construction of 87 new ground-up units.
In a climate of increasing interest rates, and with a considerable number of LP equity groups staying on the sidelines, the team and Sponsor faced challenges in finding an LP partner willing to invest in a single development with a satisfactory rate of return. Despite considering the option of utilizing wealthy family funds for a swift closing, the decision regarding the funding source remained unresolved.
GSP successfully negotiated a programmatic equity arrangement that offers both investors enhanced returns over an extended duration. As a result, the sponsor secured a long-term equity provider for their forthcoming projects, while the equity provider gains the opportunity to access the sponsor’s extensive pipeline, enabling potential future funding returns.
