The Madison Group (TMG), a leading source of commercial real
estate financing nationwide, arranged the $20,700,000 bridge loan for a triple
net lease medical office in Utah. The property consists of a 44,594 square-foot
medical center with 8 units well located in the Salt Lake City metro area. The finalized terms of the bridge loan were
interest-only payments for the first 12 months at 425 basis points over the 30-day
LIBOR (London Inter-bank Offered Rate). The property owners were able to
achieve a 94% loan-to-cost loan.
A credit tenant (BBB- credit grade) currently owns the
businesses in four of the units and has signed a 15-year lease on each of
these. The investment group needed a
rate and term refinance of the construction loan to meet their loan maturity
date. TMG was able to fund the loan within days of the deadline on this
multi-tenant medical facility.
The tenants began taking occupancy in February 2018. The
goal of the transaction was to pay off the construction loan by using the
current in-place leases, while taking the time necessary to finish tenant
improvements and move to stabilization of the net operating income for a future
long term non-recourse loan. Three of
the tenants have not yet finished the improvements in their space and one space
is vacant.
The timelines for completion of the construction on the
project were longer than expected due to architectural changes to the plans,
which created a need to close before final leases began. TMG worked closely
with the lender to maximize proceeds to pay off underlying construction debt
and some return of capital to the owners. TMG and the developer worked with the
building owner and tenants to provide a high loan-to-cost loan and a 72%
LTV.
“Everyone needed to be on board to get
the transaction completed in a timely manner,” said Jeff Meierhofer, TMG’s
Director of Finance. “We look forward to
getting a new cash-out loan for them upon final occupancy.”
“There were lots of moving parts on this transaction, but we were able to
deliver an excellent product to the investors,” said Angela Kesselman, TMG’s
Associate Director of Finance. “Because
three of the tenants had not finished their space, the project became
ineligible for a Commercial Mortgage-backed Securities transaction. Once the tenants move in, we can finalize the
transaction with long-term CMBS financing and recapitalize the project. The bridge loan was a perfect way to achieve
everyone’s long-term goals, ”Kesselman said.
The financing was arranged by Jeff Meierhofer and
Angela Kesselman at The Madison Group.
