$1,200,000

A 10 year fixed rate loan for a Safeway store located in a secondary market. Our life company lender provided a 10 year loan term which extended beyond the existing Safeway lease. The secondary market and loan term hangout were mitigated by strong sponsorship and a very low loan to value.
Patagonia Building, Seattle, Washington Patagonia Building - Seattle, WA
$2,300,000

Our life company provided a  cash-out refinance to an existing borrower, with over 50% of the proceeds going back to the borrower.  In addition to the cash-out, approximately 50% of the space rolls in the near-term.  The primary mitigations to these risks were strong sponsorship that has been through a number of real estate cycles and a conservatively leveraged real estate portfolio.
Evergreen Business Center, Everett, Washington Evergreen Business Center - Everett, WA
$4,300,000

We arranged long term, fixed rate life company financing to take out a conduit loan that we placed 10 years ago for this borrower. The two-building complex is occupied by a number of federal and state government tenants.
Lakemont Village, Bellevue, Washington Lakemont Village - Bellevue, WA
$6,200,000

Refinance of a non-credit, grocery anchored shopping center. Our life company lender understood the property’s unique location as an offset to non-credit anchor and a recent large shop space vacancy. Underwriting relied upon strong occupancy history and experienced ownership.

Fostoria Industrial Park, Seattle, Washington Fostoria Industrial Park - Seattle, WA
$1,650,000

A refinance at 6.875% for this light industrial park. Despite the low LTV, strong occupancy and ownership history, the existing lender declined to renew the loan. We arranged for new life company financing including rate lock at application and exchanging partial recourse for a lower rate.
Red Door Building, Seattle, Washington Red Door Building - Seattle, WA
$2,350,000

A 25 year loan term with one of our life companies was fixed at 6.375%.  We were able to get the lender comfortable with a unique mixed-use property type; short term leases and heavy lease rollover in this challenging market; as well as full cash out.

$4,500,000

100% cash out on 50% LTV for a two property portfolio.  Our life insurance lender recognized the sponsor’s overall portfolio and investment strategy to justify the all cash-out refinance. Loan funded as applied for with no changes from loan application to loan commitment.

Prefontaine Building, Seattle, Washington Prefontaine Building - Seattle, WA
$2,825,000

This is a refinance of a historic office building in the Pioneer Square District of Seattle. The major obstacle to overcome was an unsubordinated ground lease, which was mitigated by a conservative loan-to-value and strong sponsorship.

$1,000,000

Single tenant building with a new five-year lease extension, shadow anchored by Albertsons. The existing loan was maturing with no extension options. The client sought a short term loan which we arranged with an out-of-state credit union for a five-year term, fixed interest rate at 6.50%, no prepayment penalty.
Bellingham Hardware, Bellingham, Washington Bellingham Hardware - Bellingham, WA
$1,500,000
Our life company lender offered a longer amortization on this historic building in downtown Bellingham, originally constructed in 1906 and now configured for apartment and office tenants.

A 28,000 square foot older industrial complex with fenced yard on 3.5 acres located close to Seattle. We placed a 25 year loan with an initial 8.5 year fixed rate. Our life company lender was comfortable with a longer amortization given the high land value and strong sponsorship.

Hawks Prairie, Lacey Washington Hawks Prairie – Lacey, WA
$2,600,000

This multi-tenant office was financed with another of our correspondent life lenders on a 5+5+5+5+5 perm loan. Because the loan was quite conservative and full recourse was offered, our lender was unfazed by 30% vacancy and knowing part of loan proceeds would pay off adjacent land that was not part of the loan security.
Lakewood Building, Lakewood Washington Lakewood Building – Lakewood, WA
$7,145,000

INTERVEST provided construction and standby permanent financing for this proposed office building in Lakewood, Washington. The property was 50% pre-leased to the State of Washington, and we were able to approve and fund the loan with only 50% pre-leasing because of our prior experience with the borrower.
