MONTEREY, CA – Gantry’s Robert Slatt and Jeff Wilcox, Principals, and Charlie Kokernak, Associate, arranged $61,000,000 in fixed-rate financing for The Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa, a 290-room full service hotel. The premier establishment is located on Monterey’s Cannery Row on seven contiguous ground leased parcels. The operator worked closely with Gantry to arrange the new first deed of trust, which was used to refinance existing debt, cover closing costs, and fund scheduled capital improvements. The non-recourse financing solution was arranged from one of Gantry’s New York-based correspondent life insurance companies, and will be serviced throughout the remainder of its term by Gantry.
