The loan provided the sponsor with a competitive capital solution designed to support both the acquisition and planned improvements to the property. Structured with a three-year term, an 80% loan-to-cost ratio, and a 6.43% interest rate, the financing strengthened the borrower’s acquisition strategy and provided the capital needed to move the business plan forward.
