The Madison Group (TMG), a leading source of multifamily
financing nationwide, arranged the $8,680,000 non-recourse refinance for
an apartment complex in Hurricane, Utah. The borrower was interested in a non-recourse
loan that allowed for cash out and recapture of cash infused into Phase 1. All
equity recaptured from Phase 1 will go into the building of Phase 2. The
finalized terms of this loan were 5.05% interest rate, 12-year term, and a 30-year
amortization.
The property is a recently completed 84-unit apartment
community with a resort-style feel. The lease up was very fast as a gap exists
for quality product in this market. Final leases have been signed on 82 of the
84 units. The property combines the
convenience of modern day living in a tranquil, quiet setting. This apartment community features one-, two-
and three-bedroom units with an amenity package well above anything else
offered in Hurricane or the surrounding area.
Hurricane is in the St. George sub-market.
The total project will be a 192-unit, multi-family
development consisting of two phases. The first phase, which was recently
completed, includes 84 units with a pool and other amenities. The second phase
is composed of 108 additional units. The project has had tremendous success in
getting the first phase leased up so far. The Southern Utah market has a
serious need for multi-family units.
Considering the current success in pre-leasing the property
and feeling the demand was greater than expected, the borrowers are looking to
move into Phase 2 construction as soon as reasonable.
The timing of the cash out loan on Phase 1 was critical to
recapitalize and move forward with Phase 2.
Special attention was paid to inter-property agreements and easements.
Phase 2 is being built by the same builder and is owned by the same groups. The
loan funded 90 days after the property achieved 90% occupancy.
“Timing is
everything in most cases, said Jeff Meierhofer, TMG’s Director of Finance. “The
funds for the refinance helped the developers get moving on Phase 2 without
delay saving money on construction costs.”
