Chicago, IL – October 8, 2020 – American Street Capital (“ASC”) announced today that it has arranged a $1.45 million permanent loan for the refinance of an industrial property located in the Belmont Gardens neighborhood of Chicago, IL.
The sponsor, an established operator throughout the Chicago market, specializes in multi-tenant industrial properties that target local tenants wanting shorter term leases. He wanted to get a very competitive fixed rate loan and retain his short-term leasing strategy while avoiding an extensive amount of reserves, loan structuring, and a restrictive pre-payment schedule. With roughly 20% of the tenants on month-to-month leases and 65% of the leases maturing within three years, this was a very difficult request due to COVID-19’s significant impact on the lending appetite for these asset types with over 50% rollover risk during the loan term. ASC successfully structured a competitive 5-year fixed term transaction with no TI/LC reserves and a customized rapidly declining pre-payment which is fully waived if the property was sold.
The property was fully remodeled with new mechanicals and exterior and interior upgrades from 2017-2018. At loan closing the building was 96% occupied.
The loan was originated by Igor Zhizhin, the Founder and President of ASC.
