Hauppauge, NY Dave Carswell, managing director at Largo Capital, arranged a $4 million permanent first mortgage to refinance the existing debt secured by a 69,000 s/f grocery anchored shopping center.
The newly renovated property is 97% occupied and recently signed a 10-year lease with one of its tenants for 25,000 s/f. The subject is located on Veterans Memorial Hwy., a main arterial road in the area.
Carswell was able to lock the rate seven months in advance with one of Largo’s correspondent life insurance companies and negotiated a flexible prepayment schedule.
When Environmental Site Assessments (ESA) were first part of commercial real estate risk management, it was the lenders driving this requirement. When a borrower wanted a loan on a property, banks would utilize a list of “Approved Consultants” to order the report on both refinances and purchases.
