UC Funding LLC closed a $10 million first mortgage loan on a class A, 124-unit independent living facility. The balance sheet loan allowed the buyer to take advantage of a discounted loan payoff from the existing lender and provide funds for the sponsorship to implement a capital expenditure program to improve the amenity package at the complex and embark on an aggressive marketing program to stabilize the asset. The borrowing group turned to UC Funding as they had only 3 weeks to close to take advantage of the discount being offered by the lender and needed surety of execution. "Most of our competitors would not venture into a tertiary market, but we were able to quickly and efficiently understand the vision of our new partner and closed the deal." said Dan Palmier, president of UC Funding.
