BEVERLY HILLS, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 23, 2013) - Sonnenblick-Eichner Company announced today that it has arranged $34,000,000 of first mortgage financing for a 3-property hotel portfolio totaling 829 rooms. The full-service hotels are branded by Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide and Intercontinental Hotels and Resorts.
The hotels, located in Florida, Colorado, and Ohio include the following properties:
- Sheraton Tampa East, Tampa, Florida
- Sheraton Denver Tech Center, Denver, Colorado
- Crowne Plaza Columbus North, Columbus, Ohio
The 5-year, LIBOR-based floating rate facility has an interest rate of less than 4 percent, and is interest-only during the initial 36-month term. The loan was originated from a U.S. based, money center commercial bank.
Elliot Eichner, a Principal of Sonnenblick-Eichner Company, commented, "The properties were recently acquired and renovated for all-cash, and presented a challenge since the cash flow was in the initial stages of ramp-up. Given the excellent sponsorship and equity invested to date, we were successful in having the lender underwrite to a forward projection."
Patrick Brown, also a Principal of Sonnenblick-Eichner Company, added: "Due to the liquidity in the capital markets today for hospitality financing, we were able to solicit multiple non-recourse loan offers."
