Berkeley Eye Center

This was a short-term, interest-only bridge loan to pay off a maturing CMBS loan. The sponsor also needed a small amount of cash-out proceeds for capital replacements and tenant improvements.  The borrower plans to sell the property and needed a loan with unrestrictive loan covenants, at least one extension option and no pre-payment penalties.

Magnolia Office Flex Warehouse and Technology Business Park

This was a nonrecourse CMBS cash-out refinance.  Loan terms: 5.17% fixed rate, 10 yr balloon, 30 yr amortization, $250,000 holdback for TILC reserves. The challenge in this transaction was the high concentration of near-term rollover due to the high number of short term leases.

This single loan was collateralized with two (2) office/flex warehouse properties located about 1 mile apart.  The borrower’s local bank was not willing to provide any additional cash-out proceeds on his existing loan that was needed for a new ground-up project.  With this new loan the borrower was able to pull out an extra $1,000,000 in cash-out proceeds over and above his existing loan with a local bank.

Magnolia Technology Park is a class A office/flex warehouse built between 2012 – 2015. The other property referred to as Tamina Office Park is a class A office warehouse and was built in 2010.
