Grzebinski of Rose Hill Group arranges financing

According to Daniel Monte, president of The Rose Hill Group of WNY LTD (RHG), the RHG team recently arranged financing for several projects throughout Upstate. Vice president Thomas Grzebinski II originated three separate correspondent life insurance company loans that equaled a total of $5.225 million first mortgages. All three loans ranged from 65%-75% loan to value. The properties included a 60,000 s/f multi-tenant neighborhood retail center in the local market as well as a single tenant office building and a multi-tenant warehouse building in the Binghamton market. The property owners are repeat clients to RHG and had limited personal recourse as well as long term self amortizing financing ranging from 15 to 20 years. In addition, in the Rochester market, Grzebinski arranged the sale of two bank ATM locations (each with long term leases) and a $2.375 million refinancing of a 17,000 s/f multi-tenant retail center. A regional lender provided these repeat clients with financing on a 10-year basis with a 20-year amortization. Lastly, Grzebinski arranged a $1.543 million loan on a 54 union multi-family property in Cheektowaga. The loan was arranged via a FNME small loan program and offered a 10-year fixed rate near 4% with a 30 year amortization for this 65% leverage project. According to Monte, "Our lenders have an appetite to lend on top tier properties throughout Upstate New York as well as throughout the country, as our borrower's need. Recently, Rose Hill Group has successfully arranged financing for various credit and non-credit retail tenants, office projects, and multi family properties. We have placed debt on behalf of owners for in excess of 2,000 multi family apartment units over the past 12 months."
