Chicago, IL – February 13, 2015 – American Street Capital (“ASC”) announced today that it has arranged $1.7 million in financing for a hospitality property in Chicago, IL. The transaction closed in January, 2015.

ASC worked exclusively on behalf of their client to secure an acquisition and development loan for a mixed-use property to be converted into a start-up vocational rental by owner (“VRBO”) business. The loan was a challenge due to the high leverage requirement of the sponsors, the limited industry experience of the sponsors in Chicago, the need to completely reposition the asset, and the start-up nature of the business. ASC successfully secured an SBA loan with a correspondent lender that provided a desirable loan structure that included all required construction and FF&E proceeds, a long-term fixed rate, and at a significantly higher leverage than traditionally available from other lenders in the submarket.

The loan was originated by Igor Zhizhin, the President of ASC.
