Cronheim Mortgage secured a non-recourse bridge loan for Jackson Plaza, a 350,742-sf grocery-anchored power center in Cookeville, Tennessee. While the property is 98% leased, the Sponsor identified an opportunity to add value by buying Sears out of its ground lease and re-tenanting the space at the much higher market rent.
The client, Stonemar Properties, a NYC-based retail operator in partnership with an institutional equity partner, were facing a debt maturity and opted for the bridge structure to provide funds for re-tenanting of the Sears space. Cronheim was successful in obtaining a flexible structure that funds capital as required, thereby keeping down overall carry costs.
