With 65.7-percent occupancy, property offers investors the opportunity to add value through strategic lease-up

WAITE PARK, Minn. (Feb. 6, 2019) – Mission Capital Advisors, a leading national real estate capital markets solution firm, today announced that its Asset Sales Group is marketing Marketplace Retail and Office Center, a five-building, 121,406-square-foot, mixed-use property located at 110 2nd Street South in Waite Park, Minnesota. The Mission Capital team of Will Sledge, Kyle Kaminski and Tom Karras is marketing the property on behalf of the seller, a CMBS special servicer. The properties will be auctioned on the RealINSIGHT Marketplace platform, with the bidding window opening on March 4 and closing on March 6.

Located in the western portion of the St. Cloud submarket, Marketplace Retail and Office Center consists of a four-story, 88,190-square-foot building containing a mix of retail and office space, and four single-story retail buildings, ranging in size from 1,740 to 19,716 square feet. The property’s total occupancy is 65.7 percent.

“With five separate buildings, and room to build significantly on the property’s existing tenant base, this offering will provide strategic investors with various opportunities to create value,” said Kaminski. “In addition to increasing cash flow by leasing up the vacant space, the buyer will be able to consider a range of other value-add plays, including selling off some of the outparcels, or redeveloping parts of the property.”

The property’s retail tenant mix features several national and retail chains, including Starbucks and Pizza Ranch. The property is shadow-anchored by Dick’s Sporting Goods, Five Below and Fresh Thyme Farmers Market. With its location in the prime retail area of St. Cloud and Waite Park, it is less than a mile from the popular Crossroads Center, offering convenient access to Macy’s, JCPenney, Sears and Target.

“This is the perfect investment for a buyer who combines a creative approach with a strong leasing and management team that can increase the property’s occupancy,” said Kaminski. “With its strong location in the local market, we anticipate significant interest from local and national investors.”

January 2, 2019 – Richmond, ID

Mission Capital Advisors, a national firm, is handling the marketing of the real estate sake of the former Marsh Store, which was sold in a sheriff sale nearly a year ago to Wells Fargo Bank.

Cox Supermarkets, which had operated groceries in the city since the mid-1940s, sold the South E Street site to Marsh in 1999. The 14,730-square-foot building was home to a Marsh store until it closed in March 2017 as the regional grocery chain went under. It’s been vacant since.

The last remaining Marsh store in Richmond, ID, at 501 National Road W., is now called Needler’s, after it was bought along with several others by Ohio-based grocer Fresh Encounter.

According to online property tax records, the assessed valuation for the South E Street property is $230,500.

Currently vacant, properties will be sold in five separate auctions in early December, offering incredible opportunity to value-add investors

NEW YORK (November 26, 2018) — Mission Capital Advisors, a leading national real estate capital markets solutions firm, today announced that its Asset Sales Group is marketing five separate, vacant Indiana retail properties. The five properties range in size from 14,000 to 80,000 square feet, and are located in Indianapolis, Richmond, Muncie and Lafayette, Indiana. The Mission Capital team of Will Sledge, Kyle Kaminski, and Rob Beyer is marketing the offerings on behalf of the seller, a CMBS special servicer. Each of the properties will be auctioned individually on the RealINSIGHT Marketplace platform, with the bidding window opening on December 3 and closing on December 5.

All five of the properties were previously occupied by the Marsh grocery chain – or its LoBill Foods brand – which filed for bankruptcy protection in 2017 and was subsequently liquidated. All five of the buildings are fully vacant.

“For value-add investors, these properties offer an excellent opportunity to acquire assets with significant upside at a very low basis,” said Kaminski. “Several of the retail centers are located in strong commercial and residential districts, and strategic investors will be able to capitalize on their significant potential. The seller is highly motivated to find buyers for all five properties, and we anticipate interest from both local and national buyers seeking opportunistic investments.”

The properties include:

  • 10901 East Washington Street in Indianapolis is an 80,000-square-foot, single-story retail property. Constructed in 1992, the building sits on an eight-acre lot, and is ideally located just east of the Washington Plaza Mall, and is surrounded by a wide range of national tenants including Walmart, Dairy Queen, Arby’s and GameStop. The property is also within minutes of Interstates 70 and 465.
  • 3825 State Road 26 East in Lafayette is an 80,064-square-foot, single-story, big-box retail property. The structure was built in 1995 and is situated on a 12-acre lot adjacent to a Sam’s Club and across the street from the Lafayette Pavilions local shopping mall. The property is situated in a prime enclave of Lafayette, surrounded by a largely residential neighborhood that also features several hotels and numerous retail and dining options.
  • Built in 1980, 3910 West Bethel Pike in Muncie is a 50,042-square-foot, single-tenant property in a prime area that features a range of shopping and dining options. With convenient local access, the property is ideally suited for retail uses, and housed a short-term Halloween-focused retailer this fall. Located approximately two miles from Ball State University, in an area marked by significant tech job growth, the property should generate significant leasing interest from national and local tenants looking to expand in one of Muncie’s strongest retail submarkets.
  • 1301 South East Street in Richmond is a 14,737-square-foot, single-story building. The single-tenant structure was built in 1950 and is ideally suited for a buyer open to acquiring a well-located commercial property at a low basis with an eye toward redevelopment.
  • 1920 South Hoyt Avenue in Muncie is a 60,072-square-foot, two-building retail/commercial property. The two properties include a single-story, 45,000-square-foot building, constructed in 1978, and a two-story commercial building, which was built in 2017 and measures approximately 15,000 square feet. The layout of the property affords an investor flexibility for either single-tenant or multi-tenant usage.

Former Marsh Stores Head to Auction

November 27, 2018

NEW YORK – Five former Marsh stores throughout Indiana will soon be on the auction block. New York-based Mission Capital Advisors LLC says bidding will begin next week on the properties, all of which are currently vacant after being liquidated due to the grocery chain filing for bankruptcy.

Each of the properties will be auctioned individually with bidding beginning on December 3 and closing on December 5. Mission Capital is marketing the auctions on behalf of the seller.

“For value-add investors, these properties offer an excellent opportunity to acquire assets with significant upside at a very low basis,” said Kyle Kaminski with Mission Capital. “Several of the retail centers are located in strong commercial and residential districts, and strategic investors will be able to capitalize on their significant potential. The seller is highly motivated to find buyers for all five properties, and we anticipate interest from both local and national buyers seeking opportunistic investments.”

  • 10901 East Washington Street, Indianapolis
  • 3825 State Road 26 East, Lafayette
  • 3910 West Bethel Pike, Muncie
  • 1301 South East Street, Richmond
  • 1920 South Hoyt Avenue, Muncie

Marsh Supermarkets filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in May 2017. Nearly two-thirds of the chain’s stores were acquired by Ohio-based Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR) subsidiary Topvalco Inc., and Generative Growth II LLC.

Former South Street Marsh Supermarket to be auctioned online on Dec. 3

November 27, 2018

LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The Marsh Supermarket on Teal Road in Lafayette sits at the edge of a food desert, which isn’t as picturesque as it sounds.

A food desert is defined as a census tract in which at least 500 people or 33 percent of the population must travel more than a mile to reach a grocery store.

According to 2015 data compiled by The United States Department of Agriculture, Lafayette’s Marsh location is staving off the expansion of an already sizable food desert.

Should the supermarket close, going the way of many other Marsh Supermarkets in Indiana and Ohio, this desert would spread.

It was revealed Tuesday that 17 stores might close. This is in addition to the 19 Marsh Supermarkets shuttering by the end of May. While Lafayette and West Lafayette Marsh locations have not landed on either of these lists, the news does call into question the overall longevity of the grocery store chain.

Could this be the death knell for Greater Lafayette’s Marsh stores?

Sparsely populated bread aisles and a sign posted on the door of Lafayette’s Marsh reading “We are currently out of newspapers” only underscore this question.

Managers at both Marsh locations refused to comment on the status of the supermarkets. Marsh’s corporate offices also declined to comment about the Lafayette and West Lafayette locations.

Katy Bunder, CEO and president of Food Finders Food Bank, said losing Marsh could be a serious blow for residents on the south side of Lafayette.

“If you are taking a bus or walking each time, and you get further away from a store, have busier streets to cross, shopping gets harder,” Bunder said.

Bunder also said there is a significant elderly populations that lives near that Marsh, which might be impacted.

Rosemary and Gordon McCool, both in their 80s, said they would be inconvenienced if the Marsh on Teal Road folded.

“Whenever I need something I can run over here and get it. … Also, this is a smaller store and you get around better. When you get to be our age, big stores are just hard to get around,” Rosemary McCool said.

Although not a great distance, she added, going to the Payless Super Market on Beck Lane, the next closest store, would be a hassle, not just for the drive time but because there is much more store to navigate.

Angela Pruitt, a member of Sitrick and Company, the firm currently handling Marsh’s public relations, said 44 Marsh stores remain after the spate of closures that began in January.
“Marsh Supermarkets is seeking a buyer for all 44 of its remaining stores. The company has retained the investment banking firm of Peter J. Solomon Company to assist us in marketing the stores,” Pruitt said.

If the additional 17 stores were to close, however, this would leave Marsh with just 27 stores still open. A spokesperson for Marsh said on Tuesday if a buyer isn’t found for the remaining Marsh stores within 60 days they will all close.

In 2006, the year Sun Capital Partners acquired Marsh stores, there were 120 Marsh Supermarkets. Now, after an avalanche of closures, the dismantling of all Marsh pharmacies and more bad news this week, residents like Rosemary and Gordon McCool are unsure how they will easily manage grocery shopping if their neighborhood Marsh doesn’t survive.

Former Richmond Marsh store will go up for auction next week

November 27, 2018

RICHMOND, Ind. — A former grocery store on the city’s south side might soon have a new owner.

An online auction will be held next week for five former Marsh properties across Indiana, including the store at 1301 S. E St. in Richmond.

Mission Capital Advisors, a national firm, is handling the marketing of the real estate. The auction will be conducted on the RealINSIGHT Marketplace website, with each property offered for sale individually.

The Richmond location will go up for bids starting at noon Monday with an initial asking price of $50,000. The auction will close at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.

“The seller is highly motivated to find buyers for all five properties, and we anticipate interest from both local and national buyers seeking opportunistic investments,” Kyle Kaminski of Mission Capital said in a news release.

Cox Supermarkets, which had operated groceries in the city since the mid-1940s, sold the South E Street site to Marsh in 1999. The 14,730-square-foot building was home to a Marsh store until it closed in March 2017 as the regional grocery chain went under. It’s been vacant since.

In a sheriff sale earlier this year, the property was sold to Wells Fargo bank, the sole bidder, for $1,288,511.75. Wells Fargo is believed to have been involved with financing the building, allowing it to take back the property.

The last remaining Marsh store in Richmond, 501 National Road W., is now called Needler’s, after it was bought along with several others by Ohio-based grocer Fresh Encounter.

5 former Marsh stores heading to auction in December

MUNCIE, Ind. – Vacant buildings that once held grocery stores could soon come under new ownership. Five former Marsh buildings are part of an auction in early December, with each property getting auctioned separately.

The properties are headed to auction by Mission Capital Advisors, a national real estate capital markets solution firm.

The five properties in Indiana are:

  • 10901 East Washington Street in Indianapolis
  • 3825 SR 26 East in Lafayette
  • 3910 West Bethel Pike in Muncie
  • 1301 South East Street in Richmond
  • 1920 South Hoyt Avenue in Muncie

Muncie isn’t only the only community with two properties on the auction block, but also the home where Marsh Supermarkets.

“Marsh was obviously synonymous with Muncie,” said executive director of the Muncie Redevelopment Commission, Todd Donati.

Donati said the Hoyt Avenue location closed in the summer of 2017, when Marsh filed for bankruptcy and shut down its stores across the state.

The building along Bethel Pike has not held a grocery store for several years and was most recently a Dunham’s Sporting Goods, according to Donati.

The loss of the two stores left a big impact on the community.

“Not only did we lose a lot of grocery stores, we lost a lot of jobs, too,” Donati said.

The bidding window for the properties in the auction opens on Monday, December 3. It closes two days later on December 5.

Donati said the city may end up being the buyer in the end, but he was confident the two properties in Muncie would have a buyer.

“They won’t be grocery stores,” said Donati. “They’ll be some kind of retailers. They may split up into different retail units. If someone buys them right, they can remodel and can maybe have three, four or five small retail outlets in these stores.”

November 27, 2018

MUNCIE, Ind. — Two Muncie retail properties that previously held Marsh stores will be put up for auction online during the beginning of December.

Mission Capital Advisors announced Monday that its asset sales group is marketing the vacant Muncie properties — 3910 W. Bethel Ave. and 1920 S. Hoyt Ave. — along with former Marsh or LoBill Foods locations in Lafayette, Richmond and Indianapolis. Marsh filed for bankruptcy protection in 2017.

The bidding window for the properties will be from noon Dec. 3 until about 4 p.m. Dec. 5. Each property will be auctioned individually on the RealINSIGHT Marketplace platform. The starting bid for the Bethel location is $200,000, according to this platform, while the Hoyt space starts at $250,000.

A team comprised of Will Sledge, Kyle Kaminski and Rob Beyer is marketing the offerings on behalf of the seller.

“For value-add investors, these properties offer an excellent opportunity to acquire assets with significant upside at a very low basis,” Kaminski said in a release. “The seller is highly motivated to find buyers for all five properties, and we anticipate interest from both local and national buyers seeking opportunistic investments.”

The retail space at 3910 W. Bethel Ave. includes 50,042 square feet and is located near Rural King and the Northwest YMCA.

The 1920 S. Hoyt Ave. location holds two buildings, one single-story building with 45,000 square-foot and the other a two-story commercial building built in 2017 that totals 15,000 square feet and could be used by a single tenant or multiple tenants.

Marsh Supermarkets, founded in Muncie in 1931, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in May 2017 as it was working to sell off its stores. Its Muncie locations included stores on McGalliard Road, Tillotson Avenue, Walnut Street, Burlington Drive, Hoyt Avenue and Bethel.

November 28, 2018

New York, NY—Mission Capital Advisors, a leading national real estate capital markets solutions firm, has announced that its Asset Sales Group is marketing two well known Muncie properties in an online auction to be held December 3-5.

Both properties will be auctioned individually on the RealINSIGHT Marketplace platform, with the bidding window opening on December 3rd and closing on December 5th.

The properties were previously occupied by the Marsh grocery chain – or its LoBill Foods brand – which filed for bankruptcy protection in 2017 and was subsequently liquidated. Both buildings are fully vacant.

The retail centers are located in strong commercial and residential districts, and strategic investors will be able to capitalize on their significant potential. The seller is highly motivated to find buyers for both properties, and interest is anticipated from both local and national buyers seeking opportunistic investments.

The properties include the two named below with links to each online auction page.

Built in 1980, 3910 West Bethel Pike in Muncie is a 50,042-square-foot, single-tenant property in a prime area that features a range of shopping and dining options.

5 Former Marsh Stores to Hit Auction Block

November 29, 2018

Five former properties that once housed Marsh Supermarkets sites will go on the auction block next week.

The vacant properties are being marketed by real estate services firm Mission Capital Advisors on behalf of their owner, identified only as a commercial mortgage backed securities special servicer.

Once an industry stalwart, Indianapolis-based Marsh Supermarkets filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2017 and subsequently liquidated, citing high debts and competitive intrusions from companies such as Kroger and Meijer.

The stores to be auctioned went unsold in Marsh’s 2017 liquidation, which saw 11 of its 44 stores sold to Kroger and another 17 go to Fresh Encounter, the Findlay, Ohio-based independent. They housed either the Marsh or LoBill brands and range in size from 14,000 to 80,000 square feet.

“For value-add investors, these properties offer an excellent opportunity to acquire assets with significant upside at a very low basis,” Kyle Kaminski of Mission Capital said in a statement. “Several of the retail centers are located in strong commercial and residential districts, and strategic investors will be able to capitalize on their significant potential. The seller is highly motivated to find buyers for all five properties, and we anticipate interest from both local and national buyers seeking opportunistic investments.”

Mission said the sites would be auctioned individually on the RealInsight Marketplace online platform, with the bidding window opening Dec. 3 and closing Dec. 5.

The properties to be sold:

  • 10901 E. Washington St., Indianapolis, an 80,000-square-foot, single-story retail property. Constructed in 1992, the building sits on an eight-acre lot, and is just east of the Washington Plaza Mall. It is surrounded by a wide range of national tenants, including Walmart, Dairy Queen, Arby’s and GameStop.
  • 3825 State Road 26 East, Lafayette, Ind., an 80,064-square-foot, single-story, big-box retail property. The structure was built in 1995 and is situated on a 12-acre lot adjacent to a Sam’s Club and across the street from the Lafayette Pavilions local shopping mall.
  • 3910 W. Bethel Pike, Muncie, Ind., a 50,042-square-foot, single-tenant property in a prime area that features a range of shopping and dining options. It was built in 1980.
  • 1301 S. East St., Richmond, Ind., a 14,737-square-foot, single-story building built in 1950. According to Mission it is ideally suited for a buyer open to acquiring a well-located commercial property at a low basis with an eye toward redevelopment.
  • 1920 S. Hoyt Ave., Muncie, Ind., a 60,072-square-foot, two-building retail/commercial property. The two properties include a single-story, 45,000-square-foot building, constructed in 1978, and a two-story commercial building, which was built in 2017 and measures about 15,000 square feet.

CWCapital Winding Down BACM 2007-2; Puts All Remaining Assets Up For Sale

November 30, 2018

Special servicer CWCapital Asset Management is winding down Banc of America Commercial Mortgage Trust, 2007-2, having placed all of the deal’s 11 remaining assets, with a balance of $172.8 million, up for sale through its RealInsight Marketplace.

The transaction was issued in May 2007, backed by 185 loans with a balance of $3.2 billion. Since then, 53 loans were liquidated with losses totaling $308.6 million, or 9.73 percent of the deal’s original balance. Those losses have wiped out all of the CMBS deal’s bond classes subordinate to and including E, which originally was rated A+ by S&P and Fitch Ratings. In addition, the transaction has accumulated $32 million of interest shortfalls that are hitting classes B and below.

The deal’s balance is well more than the 1 percent that would trigger a clean-up call. But all 11 remaining assets are delinquent and in special servicing, so they’re not generating income. Instead, they’ve become a burden. Master servicer KeyCorp Real Estate Capital Markets continues to make advances against them in order to ensure that bond investors continue to receive their scheduled payments. But the appraised value of each of the loans’ underlying assets has declined since the deal was issued. As a result, a total of $114.8 million of appraisal reduction amounts have been lodged against the collateral pool.

CWCapital has enlisted Mission Capital Advisors to handle marketing for the deal’s remaining assets. The New York advisory shop has started distributing offering material to prospective investors and will take offers for individual assets through the RealInsight Marketplace online platform on Dec. 3-5.

The deal’s largest remaining asset is the $119.5 million loan against the Mall of Acadiana in Lafayette, La., a 1.6 million-square-foot shopping center owned by CBL & Associates Properties, but that’s being overseen by a receiver, Spinoso Management Group of North Syracuse, N.Y. An online auction for the property, of which 299,349 sf serves as collateral for the loan, will take place Dec. 3-5. A starting bid of $24 million has been set. The property last was appraised in May at a value of $45.9 million.

Also on the sales docket on Dec. 3-5 is the 160 room Wyndham Garden Inn, the former Radisson Phoenix at 3600 North 2nd Ave., which previously had backed a $9.7 million loan. The property, which last was appraised in January at a value of $2.8 million, has operated at a 54 percent occupancy level for the 12 months through September and generated an average daily room rate of $97.46, for revenue per available room of $52.64.

Most recently, Mission Capital started marketing four foreclosed retail properties that had been occupied by Marsh Supermarkets until its bankruptcy last year and that had backed $13.7 million of loans.

The four stores are all in Indiana, with the biggest at 3825 State Road 26 East, which has 80,064 sf and sits next to a Sam’s Club in Lafayette, which is about 60 miles northwest of Indianapolis.

The others are:

  • 10901 East Washington St., with 80,000 sf near the Washington Plaza Mall in Indianapolis;
  • 1920 South Hoyt Ave., with 60,072 sf, and 3910 West Bethel Pike, with 50,042 sf, both in Muncie, which is about 60 miles northeast of Indianapolis, and
  • 1301 South East St., with 14,737 sf in Richmond, which is about 70 miles east of Indianapolis and 70 miles north of Cincinnati.

The properties recently were appraised at a combined $3.4 million. Starting bids for each property is set at $100,000.

Two other notable retail assets in the BACM 2007-2 collateral pool are the $13.3 million loan against the Davisville Shopping Center, with 98,508 sf in the Philadelphia suburb of Warminster, Pa., and the 134,276-sf Parkway Shopping Center in Allentown, Pa., which had backed a $9.6 million loan and is now classified as real estate owned.

The Davisville property is 83.8 percent leased and anchored by an Acme supermarket, which leases nearly 53,000 sf through August 2021, but the grocer long ago vacated its space. The property, which is contaminated by perchloroethylene from a former dry cleaner tenant, last appraised at a value of $8.9 million. The starting bid for the loan is $1.75 million.

The Parkway center, meanwhile, is 51.8 percent occupied by tenants that include Family Dollar, which occupies nearly 10,000 sf under a lease that matures at the end of next year, and IHOP, which leases 4,300 sf through April 2025. The property was appraised last May at a value of $8.8 million. Opening bid is set at $2.9 million.

Mission Capital Advisors selling five vacant retail properties in Indiana

December 4, 2018

Mission Capital Advisors’ Asset Sales Group is marketing five separate vacant Indiana retail properties. The five properties range in size from 14,000 to 80,000 square feet, and are located in Indianapolis, Richmond, Muncie and Lafayette, Indiana.

The Mission Capital team of Will Sledge, Kyle Kaminski and Rob Beyer is marketing the offerings on behalf of the seller, a CMBS special servicer. Each of the properties will be auctioned individually on the RealINSIGHT Marketplace platform, with the bidding window opening on Dec. 3 and closing on Dec. 5.

All five of the properties were previously occupied by the Marsh grocery chain – or its LoBill Foods brand – which filed for bankruptcy protection in 2017 and was subsequently liquidated. All five of the buildings are fully vacant.

The properties include:

  • 10901 East Washington Street in Indianapolis is an 80,000-square-foot, single-story retail property. Constructed in 1992, the building sits on an eight-acre lot, and is ideally located just east of the Washington Plaza Mall, and is surrounded by a wide range of national tenants including Walmart, Dairy Queen, Arby’s and GameStop. The property is also within minutes of Interstates 70 and 465. The property has a starting bid of $100,000.
  • 3825 State Road 26 East in Lafayette is an 80,064-square-foot, single-story, big-box retail property. The structure was built in 1995 and is situated on a 12-acre lot adjacent to a Sam’s Club and across the street from the Lafayette Pavilions local shopping mall. The property is situated in a prime enclave of Lafayette, surrounded by a largely residential neighborhood that also features several hotels and numerous retail and dining options. The property has a starting bid of $100,000.
  • Built in 1980, 3910 West Bethel Pike in Muncie is a 50,042-square-foot, single-tenant property in a prime area that features a range of shopping and dining options. With convenient local access, the property is ideally suited for retail uses, and housed a short-term Halloween-focused retailer this fall. Located approximately two miles from Ball State University, in an area marked by significant tech job growth, the property should generate significant leasing interest from national and local tenants looking to expand in one of Muncie’s strongest retail submarkets. The property has a starting bid of $100,000.
  • 1301 South East Street in Richmond is a 14,737-square-foot, single-story building. The single-tenant structure was built in 1950 and is ideally suited for a buyer open to acquiring a well-located commercial property at a low basis with an eye toward redevelopment. The property has a starting bid of $50,000.
  • 1920 South Hoyt Avenue in Muncie is a 60,072-square-foot, two-building retail/commercial property. The two properties include a single-story, 45,000-square-foot building, constructed in 1978, and a two-story commercial building, which was built in 2017 and measures approximately 15,000 square feet. The layout of the property affords an investor flexibility for either single-tenant or multi-tenant usage. The property has a starting bid of $100,000.

Thorofare Capital provides non-recourse, floating-rate financing
for leading Chicago developer

CHICAGO (Nov. 13, 2018) — Mission Capital Advisors announced that its Debt and Equity Finance Group has arranged $13 million of non-recourse, floating-rate financing on behalf of an affiliate of the Sterling Organization to recapitalize 110 East Pearson Street, a 9,000-square-foot vacant retail property in the heart of the Magnificent Mile section of Chicago.

Jonathan More, Alex Draganiuk, Lexington Henn, and Justin Hunt of the Mission Capital team secured the loan from Thorofare Capital, a Los Angeles-based national commercial real estate loan origination and servicing company. The loan features a competitive leverage level with flexibility for future capital expense funding and leasing terms and will be used to capitalize the property, lease up the available space and implement significant capital improvements.

Currently vacant, the property consists of 7,303 square feet of ground-floor retail space and 1,789 square feet of retail space on the mezzanine level. For Mission Capital Advisors, the transaction reflects the firm’s ability to find appropriate capital providers for innovative developers across the country.

Thorofare’s willingness to provide financing stemmed from the firm’s recognition of the sponsor’s strong track record in value-add retail, as well the property’s desirable location, according to Felix Gutnikov, Thorofare’s Head of Origination.

“As a trusted lender, Thorofare has enjoyed a very positive relationship with Mission Capital Advisors and has completed several transactions with the firm and its clients,” Gutnikov said. “We were able to offer Sterling Organization a structured financing solution for a well-located retail asset within one of the most recognized shopping districts in the country.”

The property is ideally situated in the heart of Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, the city’s largest and most vibrant shopping district, which has approximately $1.9 billion of annual retail sales.  Over the past year, the district has seen retail vacancies decline, while rents have grown by nearly seven percent, further underscoring the property’s latent potential.

Sterling lands $13M refi for retail space at Near North Side tower

The Thorofare Capital loan will help Sterling renovate and lease the former Bar Toma space


November 9, 2018

The Sterling Organization landed a $13 million refinancing on the retail space in a tower just off Michigan Avenue on the Near North Side.

The Palm Beach-based equity fund earlier this year bought the 9,000-square-foot retail portion at the base of the 57-story tower at 110 East Pearson Street for $15.2 million. The space is best known as the former home of Bar Toma, a restaurant that opened in 2011 and shuttered in January 2017.

Thorofare Capital supplied the non-recourse, floating-rate loan, which was arranged by Mission Capital Advisors’ Jonathan More, Alex Draganiuk, Lexington Henn, and Justin Hunt. Part of the proceeds will be used to find tenants and make “significant” capital improvements.

Now vacant, the property consists of 7,300 square feet on the ground floor and 1,800 square feet on the mezzanine level.

Sterling paid $1,616 per square foot for the space at the base of the tower, which was built in the 1970s.

It was the company’s second Downtown retail deal in a few months, following April’s $8.1 million purchase of the 87,100-square-foot office building at 219 South State Street, which also includes street retail currently occupied by three Foot Locker-brand shoe stores. It took out an $18.3 million loan from Los Angeles-based Karlin Real Estate to finance that purchase and planned renovations of the building.

In September, Sterling paid $20 million to acquire Hillside Town Center, a nearly 165,000-square-foot retail park in west suburban Hillside. It also bought the 101,000-square-foot Prairie Market shopping center in far west suburban Oswego, but would not disclose the purchase price.

Capital advisor secures non-recourse loan for local developer’s residential, commercial and parking project

AUSTIN, Texas – Mission Capital Advisors announced that its Debt and Equity Finance Group has arranged $29.4 million in non-recourse financing for the construction of 1600 S 1st Street, an 86,700-square-foot, mixed-use condo and commercial development in the Bouldin neighborhood of Austin, Texas. The Mission Capital team of Jason Parker, Steven Buchwald and Jamie Matheny represented developer PSW Real Estate, LLC in arranging the senior loan from a local debt fund.

Situated in the heart of South Austin, the four-story property will feature 59 innovative residential condominiums, approximately 22,800 square feet of ground-floor commercial space and a 321-space underground parking garage. The 59 residences include six studio units, 26 one-bedroom units, 24 two-bedroom units and three three-bedroom units. The property will also feature a wide range of amenities, including a private resident roof deck and a second-floor resident courtyard.

“Austin’s recent growth has been well-documented, and the area around this property has seen its population increase by a staggering 27 percent since 2010,” said Parker. “While It is somewhat challenging to get construction financing for ground-up condos at this stage of the cycle, we were able to achieve our client’s goals by stressing the unmatched demand in this location and the strength of the sponsor’s business plan. We ultimately closed favorable financing with a local debt fund, which provided a non-recourse loan.”

The property’s location in the heart of South Austin positions it just one mile south of the Austin central business district, providing easy access to a myriad of restaurants, retail, and entertainment options. With the neighborhood’s recent population and job growth, this section of Austin suffers from a scarcity of residential, commercial and parking space, and this new development should help meet the local community’s demand for space.

“PSW is known in this region as a savvy developer that is plugged into the market dynamics in every submarket, and they realized they could capitalize on the area’s growth and provide much-needed product to local residents and businesses,” said Buchwald. “With their track record of success and knowledge of the local market, we were able to generate numerous bids, ultimately closing this strong deal with a local debt fund.”

Austin-based PSW is a nationally acclaimed real estate developer and homebuilder that designs and builds urban living environments for people who care about quality and their impact on the world around them. PSW is active in Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, Seattle, and Denver. Utilizing a discerning eye for creating value, PSW thoughtfully produces homes and communities that naturally integrate into their surrounding neighborhoods. With a vision for how the world will be living and working in the future, PSW creates homes that offer proximity to work, school and other important resources while implementing energy efficient construction methods and materials. These key elements promote urban density and conservation, reduce waste, and engender social connectivity.

Cross Collateralization of Two Properties Situated Across the Street from Each Other Exemplifies Firm’s Ability to Complete Unique Deals

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Mission Capital Advisors announced that its Debt and Equity Finance Group has arranged $19.25 in non-recourse, floating-rate financing for the acquisition of a portfolio of extended-stay hotels in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

The Mission Capital team of Beau Williams, Steven Buchwald, and Lexington Henn represented the sponsor, a partnership of Milestone Companies and Woodmont Lodging, in arranging acquisition financing for the two properties that comprise the portfolio – a 91-key Home2 Suites by Hilton and a 95-key SpringHill Suites by Marriott. The properties are located at 1010 Marriott Crossing Way and 1015 Marriott Crossing Way, respectively.

“Despite the fact that the Home2 Suites just recently opened and had limited operating history, we were able to create significant competition among our network of lenders, who were attracted to the strength of the sponsor and the projected debt yield,” said Williams. “The hotels’ close proximity to one another will enable the sponsor to limit operating expenses, while the two properties will benefit from being part of the Marriott and Hilton reservations systems. With these factors at play, we received strong interest from capital providers and closed a very strong deal for the borrower.”

The hotels are situated just off of I-40, seven miles from downtown Winston-Salem and Wake Forest University, and under 30 miles from the Piedmont Triad International Airport. The SpringHill Suites Winston-Salem, which opened in 2009, underwent substantial property improvements in 2017, including a full renovation of its guestrooms, lobby, furniture and fixtures, and a build-out of its ground-floor breakfast area.

Completed in February 2018, the Home2 Suites Winston-Salem is among the newest hotels from Hilton Worldwide, the second-largest hospitality company in the world. As a result, it will require few capital expenditures, while providing significant upside during its ramp up. The financing is the second loan that Mission Capital has secured on a Home2 Suites branded property this year. In August, the firm arranged a $19 million CMBS loan for the refinance of the Home2 Suites by Hilton in downtown Greenville, South Carolina.

“If the performance of the Home2 Suites in Greeneville and other locales is any indication of the success that the brand will experience in Winston-Salem, we anticipate a quick stabilization and high NOI margin. The resultant additional cash flow will be added to the already-robust net operating income that’s currently being generated by SpringHill Suites,” Williams said.

The portfolio will be managed by Milestone Hospitality Management, LLC, which is controlled by the principals of Milestone, a fully integrated hospitality investment and development firm headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland. Milestone’s executive leadership team has invested in, managed, and developed over 90 hotels across 25 states over the course of their respective careers. Asset management services will be provided by Woodmont Lodging, which has vast experience across the lodging industry.

Developer retires construction loan, inks creative interim financing at attractive rate

TAMPA, Fla.Mission Capital Advisors announced that its Debt and Equity Finance team has structured a creative $53-million non-recourse ramp loan for The Godfrey Hotel and Cabanas Tampa, a newly renovated, 276-key, waterfront hotel located at 7700 West Courtney Campbell Causeway in Tampa, Florida.

The Mission Capital team of Jordan Ray, Ari Hirt, Alex Draganiuk and Justin Hunt represented an affiliate of Oxford Capital Group in securing the loan from Marathon Asset Management. The financing will be used to repay the property’s construction loan and return additional capital to the sponsor.

The waterfront property is a Tampa icon that was once owned by the New York Yankees, and served as the club’s Spring Training home for several decades. In 2015, Oxford acquired the hotel with plans for a comprehensive redevelopment that would include creating Tampa’s premier lifestyle hospitality property, replete with top-of-the-line amenities and the recently opened WTR Pool & Grill. An upscale pool, cabana club, bar and corporate event space, WTR provides guests with an unmatched experience of luxury in a modern tropical setting, featuring handcrafted cocktails, exquisite dining and entertainment in a poolside area overlooking Tampa Bay.

“Oxford bought this property with the vision to create a unique hotel that has the best poolside venue in the Tampa market,” said Ray. “Just a month after the WTR Pool & Grill opened, there is a lot of action at the hotel and the pool, and we were able to repay the construction financing and replace it with a ramp loan with earn-outs at very attractive terms.”

In addition to the pool and cabanas, Oxford’s comprehensive repositioning campaign included the addition of 15 guest rooms; complete renovations of existing guestrooms, with hardwood flooring, marble countertops and other top-of-the-line amenities; and a complete renovation of the lobby, including the addition of a café and wine bar.

“Ramp loans are based in large part on projecting the property’s path to stability, and that adds a wrinkle of complexity that not all lenders can underwrite,” said Hirt. “However, Oxford’s long standing track record, as well as the incredible product they’ve created at the property, gave capital providers extreme confidence in the sponsor’s business plan. We produced a healthy market with several lenders vying for the deal, and we ultimately closed this floating-rate loan with very strong proceeds.”

Added Hirt: “The loan we ultimately closed is structured with an immediate return on equity as well as an additional earn-out once certain benchmarks are reached, which will bring the total proceeds to the full $53 million.”

Oxford Capital Group, LLC is a national hospitality focused real estate investment, development and management firm. Oxford Hotels and Resorts, LLC is its wholly owned hotel operating and branding affiliate. Oxford, its affiliates, and principals have been involved in approximately $3 billion of real estate and private equity investments, including approximately 13,000 hotel rooms and over 2,000 senior housing units. Among the firm’s most impressive recent developments is Essex on the Park in Chicago, which includes the expansion and comprehensive redevelopment of the historic Essex Inn on Michigan Avenue in Chicago and the ground-up construction of an adjacent 479-unit luxury apartment building. The property, whose $170-million construction loan was also arranged by Mission Capital, is slated to open in spring of 2019. For information, visit www.oxford-capital.com or www.ohrllc.com.

10-Year, Interest-Only Financing Locks in Low Interest Rate for Hotel’s Owner, Golden Seahorse

NEW YORK (Sept. 20, 2018) — Mission Capital Advisors announced that its Debt and Equity Finance Group has arranged $137 million in senior, non-recourse, permanent financing for the Holiday Inn Manhattan-Financial District, a 50-story, 492-key hotel at 99 Washington Street in Lower Manhattan.

The Mission Capital team of Beau Williams, Ari Hirt, Steven Buchwald, Alex Draganiuk and Jamie Matheny represented the owner, real estate development firm Golden Seahorse, in arranging the 10-year, fixed-rate loan from Ladder Capital. Proceeds from the loan were used to refinance an existing first mortgage and return capital to the borrower.

Built in 2014, the Holiday Inn Manhattan-Financial District is the tallest Holiday Inn in the world. Since opening, the property has successfully achieved significant market penetration, currently boasting 93-percent occupancy and climbing RevPAR. The property also includes the St. George Tavern, a full-service restaurant, bar and event space offering diners French and Asian cuisine.

“The borrower was looking to lock in a low-interest-rate loan without amortization, and we were able to create a very competitive market, with various banks, insurance companies and CMBS lenders vying to structure favorable deals,” said Beau Williams. “By identifying a network of lenders who recognized the strength of the sponsor and its management team, we were able to achieve our client’s goal of securing low-interest, non-recourse financing that is interest-only for the full 10-year term.”

The property is ideally located within a short walk from 12 subway lines and PATH trains, and is blocks from the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, One World Trade Center, Wall Street, and the New York Stock Exchange.

“Hotel properties continue to perform well across the country, and with New York City receiving a record number of tourists, hospitality properties in the New York are very attractive to capital providers,” said Ari Hirt. “Thus far in 2018, Mission has arranged financing for nearly 20 hotel properties, with 20 percent of the financings exceeding $100 million in loan proceeds. This Holiday Inn financing is one of the largest permanent loans on a NYC hotel this year, and it is indicative of the appetite lenders continue to have for well-located hotel properties.”

Financial Findings: Three Deals to Know

September 26, 2018

NATIONAL REPORT — Hotel Business has been tracking deals in the industry. Sonnenblick-Eichner Company, Mission Capital Advisors, and Berkadia have recently secured financing for hotels around the country:


Provenance Hotels’ Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery Receives $29.2M Loan

Sonnenblick-Eichner Company has arranged $29.2 million of interim first mortgage financing to refinance the Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery, a historic 167-room, full-service boutique hotel located in New Orleans’ Warehouse Arts District, just a few blocks from the French Quarter.

The five-year floating rate loan was priced over LIBOR at a spread in the mid-300s. Loan proceeds are being used to refinance the existing acquisition loan, as well as provide a return of equity to the borrower.

In June of 2015, the hotel completed a $14-million ($94,000 per room) renovation that included renovating the guestrooms, bathrooms, public spaces and a build-out of the ground-floor restaurant space. Amenities include Compère Lapin, an upscale restaurant and bar helmed by Nina Compton, an acclaimed chef who has won several awards, including the James Beard Award for Best Chef: South in 2018.

“The interim floating rate loan will allow the property to continue to ramp up post-renovation while providing a lower cost of capital than the original acquisition loan,” said Sonnenblick-Eichner’s Principal Elliot Eichner.


Mission Capital Arranges $137M Loan for Holiday Inn Manhattan-Financial District

Mission Capital Advisors’ Debt and Equity Finance Group has arranged $137 million in senior, non-recourse, permanent financing for the Holiday Inn Manhattan-Financial District, a 50-story, 492-key hotel at 99 Washington St. in Lower Manhattan.

The Mission Capital team of Beau Williams, Ari Hirt, Steven Buchwald, Alex Draganiuk and Jamie Matheny represented the owner, real estate development firm Golden Seahorse, in arranging the 10-year, fixed-rate loan from Ladder Capital.

Built in 2014, the Holiday Inn Manhattan-Financial District is the tallest Holiday Inn in the world. Since opening, the property has successfully achieved significant market penetration, currently touting 93% occupancy and climbing RevPAR, according to the company. The property also includes the St. George Tavern, a full-service restaurant, bar and event space offering diners French and Asian cuisine.

“The borrower was looking to lock in a low-interest-rate loan without amortization, and we were able to create a very competitive market, with various banks, insurance companies and CMBS lenders vying to structure favorable deals,” said Beau Williams. “By identifying a network of lenders who recognized the strength of the sponsor and its management team, we were able to achieve our client’s goal of securing low-interest, non-recourse financing that is interest-only for the full 10-year term.”

Berkadia secured $78 million in financing for six hotel properties in a portfolio of eight total hotel properties. Director Adrienne Kautzman of the Phoenix office secured the acquisition bridge loan through Ares Commercial Real Estate Corporation. The borrower was a partnership led by PEG Companies, and the deal closed on September 7.

“PEG’s investment thesis coupled with our deep lending relationships and knowledge of the hospitality space allowed us to facilitate flexible and competitive financing on these six hotels to provide various exit strategies for the PEG team,” said Kautzman.

The properties include Residence Inn by Marriott and Courtyard by Marriott hotels located in St. Petersburg, FL; Sacramento, CA; Santa Fe, NM; Charlotte, NC; Phoenix; and St. Louis, for a total of 828 hotel rooms.

Jubao Xie’s FiDi Holiday Inn Receives $137M in Refinancing


September 21, 2018

NEW YORK CITY — Under the limited liability corporation, Golden Seahorse, Jubao Xie received $137 million in senior, non-recourse, permanent financing for the Holiday Inn, Manhattan – Financial District. Built in 2014, the 50-story, 492-key hotel is the largest Holiday Inn in the world. Located at 99 Washington St. between Rector and Carlisle streets, the hotel is near the World Trade Center.

Ladder Capital provided a fixed-rate loan, which will be used to refinance an existing first mortgage and return capital to the borrower, according to Mission Capital who negotiated the loan.

Xie developed the property with Sam Chang, the chairman of McSam Hotel Group, a major New York City hotel developer. In November 2014, Chang and Xie received $135 million in refinancing from UBS. The loan replaced the existing construction debt of $45 million from Cathay Bank, according to Commercial Observer. In December 2014, Xie bought out Chang’s interest, according to Real Capital Analytics.

The Real Deal reported that in December 2017, Xie had placed the hotel on the market with Marcus and Millichap seeking an asking price north of $300 million. With the mortgage loan maturing, Xie considered selling but evaluating local dynamics and capital markets decided to refinance, according to the publication.
A Mission Capital Advisors debt and equity finance team with Beau Williams, Ari Hirt, Steven Buchwald, Alex Draganiuk and Jamie Matheny represented the owner in this most recent loan.

The brokers note that the hotel has achieved significant market penetration and currently has a 93% occupancy rate. The property also includes the restaurant and bar, St. George Tavern. “The borrower was looking to lock in a low interest rate loan without amortization, and we were able to create a very competitive market, with various banks, insurance companies and CMBS lenders vying to structure favorable deals,” says Williams. “By identifying a network of lenders who recognized the strength of the sponsor and its management team, we were able to achieve our client’s goal of securing low-interest, non-recourse financing that is interest-only for the full 10-year term.”

“Hotel properties continue to perform well across the country, and with New York City receiving a record number of tourists, hospitality properties in the New York are very attractive to capital providers,” says Hirt. “Thus far in 2018, Mission has arranged financing for nearly 20 hotel properties, with 20% of the financings exceeding $100 million in loan proceeds.” The Holiday Inn financing is one of the largest permanent loans this year on a New York City hotel, and it indicates the appetite lenders have for well-located hotel properties, Hirt adds.

Mission Capital Advisors worked on behalf of Golden Seahorse to arrange the refinancing of the 492-key property, which also marks the brand’s tallest hotel in the world.


September 24, 2018

Golden Seahorse has landed a $137 million refinancing loan for the Holiday Inn Manhattan-Financial District. Mission Capital Advisors’ Debt and Equity Finance Group arranged the 10-year senior, non-recourse permanent loan from Ladder Capital.

Located at 99 Washington St., the 50-story hotel is the tallest Holiday Inn in the world. The property was constructed in 2014 and comprises 492 keys. Amenities include a fitness center, a business center, a laundry facility, free Wi-Fi, concierge services and the St. George Tavern, a full-service restaurant, bar and event space.


FINANCING DETAILS

Proceeds from the financing were used to refinance an existing first mortgage and return capital to the borrower.

Mission Capital’s Directors Beau Williams and Jamie Matheny, as well as Managing Directors Ari Hirt, Steven Buchwald and Alex Draganiuk, represented the owner. Last month, Hirt and Matheny were part of the team that arranged $28.5 million for the construction of a new Hilton-franchised hotel in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

“This is one of the largest permanent loans on a New York City hotel this year, and our ability to arrive at the structure and pricing we were able to achieve on behalf of our client is a testament to the strength of our client, the property and our execution team,” Williams told Commercial Property Executive. “The borrower had several complex requirements that we were looking to satisfy, and while we were in talks with a wide range of lenders—including conduits, insurance companies and banks—there were only a few willing to work through all the complexities required to close the deal. Ladder understood the various moving parts, and we were able to financially engineer a solution that was compatible for Ladder to execute, resulting in a very favorable structure for the client, with 10-year, interest-only financing at a very attractive rate.”

The hotel is within close proximity to 12 subway lines and PATH trains. Nearby attractions include the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, the Statue of Liberty, Wall Street, One World Trade Center and the New York Stock Exchange.

Ladder Capital is the lender at 99 Washington Street


September 20, 2018

Almost a year after Jubao Xie put the world’s tallest Holiday Inn up for sale, the Chinese developer refinanced the property at 99 Washington Street with a $137 million mortgage.

Ladder Capital issued the 10-year, non-recourse, interest-only, fixed-rate loan, which replaces a $135 million mortgage from Bank of China. Mission Capital AdvisorsBeau Williams, Ari Hirt, Steven Buchwald, Alex Draganiuk and Jamie Matheny brokered the deal.

Xie developed the 50-story, 492-room hotel in Manhattan’s Financial District with Sam Chang and took control of the property in 2014. The hotel has an occupancy rate of 93 percent. The building is also home to restaurant St. George’s Tavern.

Xie hired Marcus & Millichap in late 2017 to shop the hotel with an asking price of more than $300 million.

“With a loan maturing, the borrower was considering selling the property or refinancing, and the local dynamics and capital markets made them ultimately decide to refi,” said Mission’s Williams. “They’re very bullish on New York’s hotel market, and with cheap financing available, they determined that the best strategy was to make this asset a long-term hold.”

Non-recourse financing allows DMCC Holdings to retire 10 individual mortgages

NEW YORK (Sept. 5, 2018) – Mission Capital Advisors announced that its Debt and Equity Finance team has arranged $16.75 million of permanent financing to refinance a portfolio of 10 office, medical, and retail properties located across northern Florida. The Mission Capital team of Matt Polci, Ari Hirt, Alex Draganiuk and Justin Hunt represented DMCC Holdings in securing the non-recourse loan from Deutsche Bank.

The 10 assets include retail, office, medical and office/medical properties, all of which are located in Greater Orlando, Greater Tampa and Greater Altamonte Springs. In aggregate, the portfolio is currently 97.7-percent leased. Each property has a strong location within its submarket, and benefits from convenient access to major roadways.

“After acquiring these assets over the past four years, DMCC has made significant property improvements, thereby generating strong leasing and renewal activity across the portfolio,” said Polci. “This non-recourse CMBS loan will replace ten individual mortgages, each of which was structured with recourse, while returning additional capital to the sponsor. With DMCC in the midst of a corporate expansion, the strong proceeds will enable them to continue adding to their portfolio of well-positioned commercial properties.”

Founded in 2005 by Narinder Seehra and Sunny Matharoo, DMCC Holdings is a privately held commercial real estate investment firm that focuses on investments that provide immediate in-place cash flow and significant capital appreciation.

“With DMCC entering its second decade of business, the refinance and restructuring through Mission Capital was the first part of our strategic growth plan,” said DMCC CEO Narinder Seehra. “This second phase, which will be completed in the 3rd quarter of 2018, will allow the company to become a Registered Managed Fund through its Offering Memorandum allowing it to attract investors from varying demographics and across multiple geographies. The Fund will allow investors to use registered vehicles such as 401K, DROP, RRSP, RESP and TFSA funds to invest whilst ensuring increased security through asset class diversification and reduced risk exposure.”

“Because there were 10 pieces of collateral involved in this portfolio, many capital providers were challenged with the necessary and complex legwork to underwrite the deal,” said Hirt. “After approaching a wide range of local and national lenders, we were able to structure very favorable terms with a lender who recognized the success of DMCC’s compelling business plan and ultimately provided more proceeds than the sponsor was anticipating.”

Sycamore Investment Group capitalizes on hotel’s success, inks refinancing at favorable terms

GREENVILLE, S.C. (Aug. 21, 2018) — Mission Capital Advisors announced that its Debt and Equity Finance Team has arranged $19 million of permanent, non-recourse financing for the Home2 Suites by Hilton Greenville Downtown, a 117-key, extended-stay hotel located at 350 North Main Street in downtown Greenville, South Carolina. The Mission Capital team of Beau Williams, Steven Buchwald, and Justin Hunt represented Sycamore Investment Group in arranging the non-recourse loan.

The 110,491-square-foot property is a premier, extended-stay hotel, with well-appointed studio and one-bedroom suites that include full kitchens and in-suite work stations. The property offers guests a wide range of amenities, including the Spin2Cycle fitness center; an outdoor pool; outdoor patios with grills and fire pits; and valet parking. Since opening in September 2016, the hotel has been one of the top-performing extended-stay/limited-service hotels in Greenville. Building on the hotel’s immediate success, ownership sought to retire the property’s construction loan and procure permanent financing.

“Although Home2Suites has ramped up its operations quickly, a lot of supply has come to the local market, so we had to demonstrate to lenders that the hotel would maintain its strong performance,” said Williams. “As an extended-stay hotel, the property differentiates itself from much of the competition, and the diversified clientele it attracts points to its continued success. We were able to leverage our lender relationships to create a competitive market for this deal resulting in very favorable terms to our client.”

The hotel is situated in a prime location in downtown Greenville near countless restaurants and retail options. It is also within five minutes of the Bon Secours Wellness Arena — which hosts hockey games and performing artists — and the TD Convention Center, one of the largest exhibit halls in the country.

“After creating one of the Greenville market’s most inviting and successful hospitality properties, Sycamore was able to capitalize on its success,” said Buchwald. “This non-recourse CMBS loan retires the construction financing, which was structured with recourse, and returns capital to the sponsor. This allows them to continue executing their business strategy and pursue other development opportunities.”

Tampa Waterfront Hotel Secures $53M Floating-Rate Loan

August 24, 2018

TAMPA, FL–An iconic Tampa waterfront hotel that was once the spring training camp for Major League Baseball’s New York Yankees landed a $53-million non-recourse ramp loan that was structured by Mission Capital Advisors. It was secured by the Godfrey Hotel and Cabanas Tampa, a newly renovated, 276-key, waterfront hotel located at 7700 West Courtney Campbell Causeway.

The Mission Capital team of Jordan Ray, Ari Hirt, Alex Draganiuk and Justin Hunt represented an affiliate of Oxford Capital Group in securing the loan from Marathon Asset Management. The financing will be used to repay the property’s construction loan and return additional capital to the sponsor.

In 2015, Oxford acquired the hotel with plans for a comprehensive redevelopment that would include top-of-the-line amenities and the recently opened WTR Pool & Grill. The result was an upscale pool, cabana club, bar and corporate event space in a poolside area overlooking Tampa Bay.

“Oxford bought this property with the vision to create a unique hotel that has the best poolside venue in the Tampa market,” said Ray. “Just a month after the WTR Pool & Grill opened, there is a lot of action at the hotel and the pool, and we were able to repay the construction financing and replace it with a ramp loan with earn-outs at very attractive terms.”

Repositioning Program Created Added Value

In addition to the pool and cabanas, Oxford’s comprehensive repositioning campaign included the addition of 15 guest rooms; complete renovations of existing guestrooms, with hardwood flooring and other top-of-the-line amenities.

“Ramp loans are based in large part on projecting the property’s path to stability, and that adds a wrinkle of complexity that not all lenders can underwrite,” said Hirt. “However, Oxford’s long standing track record, as well as the incredible product they’ve created at the property, gave capital providers extreme confidence in the sponsor’s business plan.”

Added Hirt: “The loan we ultimately closed is structured with an immediate return on equity as well as an additional earn-out once certain benchmarks are reached, which will bring the total proceeds to the full $53 million.”

Oxford Capital Group, LLC is a national hospitality focused real estate investment, development and management firm. Oxford Hotels and Resorts, LLC is its wholly owned hotel operating and branding affiliate. Oxford, its affiliates, and principals have been involved in approximately $3 billion of real estate and private equity investments, including approximately 13,000 hotel rooms and over 2,000 senior housing units.

Mission Capital Advisors Arranges $28.5 Million in Construction Financing for 218-Key Hilton Property in Fort Lauderdale

19-floor building will include two Hilton hotels:

a 106-key Home 2 Suites and a 112-key Tru by Hilton

 

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (Aug. 10, 2018) — Mission Capital Advisors today announced that its Debt and Equity Finance Team has arranged $28.5 million in non-recourse financing for the construction of a 218-key, Hilton-franchised hospitality property at 315 Northwest 1st Avenue in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Mission Capital team of Jordan Ray, Stephen Emery, Ari Hirt, Jamie Matheny and Lexington Henn represented a joint venture of Merrimac Ventures and Driftwood Acquisitions and Development in securing the loan from Bank OZK.

The 19-story property will feature two Hilton-branded offerings. The 106-key Home 2 Suites will be an all-suite facility, featuring an array of in-room and public amenities, including abundant conference and workspace areas and in-room kitchens.

The two hotels will have separate lobbies, and will each have access to the building’s 102 parking spaces and a 5,000-square-foot outdoor pool deck and bar.

“We’ve done a lot of construction financing for hotels this cycle, but we’ve rarely seen so much lender interest in a deal,” said Ray. “The sponsorship on this property has developed some of the market’s most successful hotels, and they decided to create two Hilton-branded hotels at this property to meet the distinct needs of different market segments. With this financing in hand, construction is already underway, and Fort Lauderdale visitors should be able to enjoy its strong location and amenities by 2020.”

The property is located in Fort Lauderdale’s trendy Flagler Village neighborhood, providing hotel visitors with access to a wide range of art galleries, restaurants and tourist attractions. The hotels will be easily accessible to the beach, Fort Lauderdale International Airport and I-95.

“This deal had a very complex capital stack, including a significant amount of EB-5 financing, but we were able to structure a very strong non-recourse loan for the sponsors,” said Hirt. “The market for construction financing has improved in recent months, and we received a tremendous amount of interest from foreign and regional banks, insurance companies and mortgage REITs. The execution was very strong, and we were able to move the deal in record time, going from term sheet to closing in less than 60 days.”
