Donna Falzarano and James Gunning of CB Richard Ellis capital markets, debt and equity finance arranged the package through the Des Moines-based Principal Life Insurance Co. The non-recourse loan is made up of both floating-rate and fixed-rate components, according to Gunning. The floating rate loan amounts to $7.4 million with an interest 270 basis points over three-month Libor, while the fixed rate portion is $24.5 million at an interest rate of 5.92%. Terms are 10 years with a 30-year amortization on the fixed-rate component, and 65% LTV.
"In light of today's capital market environment, we were pleased with the overall financing package that we received, and the flexibility that it provides as far as selling individual buildings," Benjamin Cohen, president and co-founder of Endurance, tells GlobeSt.com. "It was a please to work with principal and CBRE every step of the way."
"The debt markets have gotten really difficult," says co-founder and CEO Bill White. "LTVs are down and spreads are up significantly. We did O.K. here, because it's a prime product in a great location. Most important, our ability to close the purchase all-equity and then put the loan in place later on is what landed us the deal."
