NorthMarq Capital arranges $10,000,000 bridge loan on vacant office
NEWPORT BEACH (October 1, 2018) – John Marshall, vice president of NorthMarq Capital’s Los Angeles regional office, arranged a $10 million bridge loan to acquire, renovate, and lease a 56,146 square foot, vacant office building located in Pleasanton, California. Marshall arranged the loan on behalf of a regional sponsor and their joint-venture partner.
The loan provided future funding for building renovations, tenant improvements, and leasing commissions. On behalf of the borrower, NorthMarq negotiated deferred equity disbursements, extension options with minimal covenants, and flexibility to execute multiple business plans.
“Bridge pricing and loan covenants remain aggressive as lenders struggle to meet their volume targets. Bids were extremely competitive considering the transaction size and the winner was able to execute within a short closing timeline,” said Marshall.
