Gantry, the largest independent commercial mortgage banking firm in the U.S., has successfully arranged a $5.2 million bridge loan to finance the re-positioning of a 24,600 sq. ft. multi-tenant retail property located at 1370-1380 Holiday Ln., Fairfield, California. This transaction highlights Gantry’s ability to secure flexible capital for clients pursuing value-add strategies.

Gantry’s Mark Ritchie, Principal, and Keegan Bridges, Associate, with the firm’s Los Angeles production office secured the loan on behalf of the sponsor, BH Properties. The 3-year, interest-only loan features high leverage at an attractive fixed rate. 

According to Mark, “This was a highly opportunistic acquisition for our client, who was able to purchase a well-located asset that had been undercapitalized by its previous owner. With the anchor space vacant, the property presented a clear opportunity for BH Properties to re-tenant and stabilize the asset. Gantry was able to leverage its longstanding correspondent insurance company relationships to secure a competitive intermediate-term bridge loan that met our client’s capital needs and risk objectives.”

The Borrower is an entity controlled by Los Angeles based BH Properties. John Crump of BH Properties commented, "Gantry identified an excellent financing option that will support the leasing of 14,500 square feet of available space at this prominent, high-traffic retail property."
