IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 23, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Talonvest Capital, Inc., a boutique self storage and commercial real estate mortgage brokerage firm, negotiated $123.25 million in refinance loans on behalf of Metro Self Storage. The financing was accomplished through two separate notes secured by twenty-two self storage facilities located in Georgia (8), Florida (12) and Illinois (2) with over 1.5 million combined rentable square feet. The loans feature an incredibly low 3.19% fixed interest rate and 10 years of interest only payments, which will further enhance the cash yield to the ownership. The loans are non-recourse and feature individual release provisions to provide the borrower with greater portfolio flexibility in the future. The national bank that funded the loans worked closely with the Talonvest team members to successfully close these loans approximately seven weeks after the applications were signed.
Matt Nagel, Chairman of Metro Storage LLC, commented, “The day before closing Talonvest negotiated a spread decrease that created substantial interest savings for us over the life of the loan. They focused on delivering results for us all the way until the loans closed.” Dan Hryczyk, Metro’s Chief Financial Officer, added, “Refinancing 22 properties across three states takes great organization, the Talonvest team managed the entire loan process with skill and composure, especially when there was volatility in the bond market.” The Talonvest team members representing Metro Self Storage in this assignment included Eric Snyder, Kim Leslie Bishop, David DiRienzo, Tom Sherlock, and Lauren Maehler.
