Note Acquisition & Financing

Baker Street advised the Borrower on the acquisition and financing of a senior note from a Regional Bank secured by a student housing property in Philadelphia, PA.    Baker Street guided the Borrower through a variety of challenges which included negotiating the purchase price of the Note (a 37% discount to principal balance), structuring the transaction including creating an unsecured “Hope Note” to manage the Borrower’s potential tax liability, and sourcing a lender that understood the nuances of the transaction along with the headwinds of the Property’s submarket.  Additionally, the note seller required a tight closing timeline and the transaction closed in 10 business days from execution of the Loan Sale Agreement.  The reset basis will provide the Owner flexibility in their business plan in a challenging submarket.
