A developer agreed to buy 528 Lakeview Court, a waterfront residence in Miami Beach, for $12.5 million. His plan was to enclose about 2,000 square feet and renovate the house.
02
He needed proceeds for the purchase and for the work. A loan sized only to the contract price would not fund the enclosure. The closing date was fixed.
03
We reviewed the waterfront property, the $12.5 million purchase, the plan to add about 2,000 square feet, the sponsor, our first lien position, and the exit. We liked the plan. It supported higher proceeds than the purchase price alone.
04
We structured $14.5 million of first-position financing, enough for the acquisition and the renovation.
05
The developer dealt directly with the principals. We structured, documented, and closed the loan in 21 days.
