Invest in a short-term loan secured by a former hotel property and an event space. The properties are located in the historic district of Baltimore, and are within walking distance to the Bromo Arts District, Baltimore Penn Station and the business district. The sponsor’s business plan is to convert the hotel into a multi-family property. The loan serves as bridge financing and allows the sponsor to further progress on its business plan, budget and approvals, and potentially obtain a competitive construction loan for the development.
CoStar reports vacancy rates are projected to fall to 6-7% by 2025 which has the potential to support annualized rent growth in the mid-single digits. Multi-family investment has been solid in the area as demand is driven by the area’s anchor enterprises such as the University of Maryland Medical Center, Johns Hopkins, Transamerica and M&T Bank. Additionally, initiatives to revitalize Downtown Baltimore include plans by the governor to relocate over 3,000 state employees to the area. The properties have been acquired at an attractive cost basis of $69k per unit, with a loan cost basis of $39k per unit. The sponsor’s estimated total project cost is $176k per unit which is currently lower than the replacement cost of recent comparables which sold for $191k per unit on average.
The loan has a term of 11 months remaining. Investors are expected to earn interest at an annualized target yield of 8.75%, of which ~5.8% is expected to be distributed on a current monthly basis and the remaining ~2.9% is expected to accrue and compound. Principal and accrued interest is expected to be repaid at maturity from proceeds of a sale or refinance of the property.
