A10 Capital Funds $7.4 Million Bridge Loan for Tampa, Florida Retail Center
Boise, Idaho (PRWEB) November 11, 2014 -- A10 Capital, a full service nationwide lending business specializing in small to middle market commercial real estate loans announced today that it has funded a non-recourse bridge loan for the acquisition of a retail center located in central Florida. The commercial mortgage is secured by a class B retail shopping center and provided approximately 55% leverage.
Chuck Taylor, Principal and EVP at A10 Capital, who structured and closed the loan, said, “We recognized immediately the sponsor had a solid business plan to renovate and redevelop this former big box retail center. Therefore, we were able to get comfortable quickly and work with Walker & Dunlop to structure a facility that satisfied all requirements for the client on this acquisition.”
Tampa-based vice presidents, Livingston Hessam and Jeremy Pino, led the Walker & Dunlop team. Mr. Hessam commented, “This transaction is a perfect example of a lender buying into an excellent location with a strong and experienced sponsor, Leon Capital Group. We look forward to seeing this property redeveloped and providing long-term financing upon completion.
Jared Moon, Vice President with Leon Capital Group stated, “This property is one of the few remaining vacant boxes in north Pinellas County, the amount of activity and demand on this site forced us to be extremely aggressive with our terms in order for us to get this deal. With A10’s help we were able to close on this property 30 days after contract execution.” Moon says they are currently negotiating with multiple users to backfill the existing box as well as the 2 outparcels.
The bridge loan was structured on a non-recourse basis and proceeds were used to fund the acquisition of the property as well as provide committed funds for future capital expenditure and TI/LC facilities.
