Walker & Dunlop, Inc. announced today that it structured $14,300,000 in acquisition financing for 4100 South Stream, a Class A office building comprising four stories and 125,000 square feet in Charlotte, North Carolina. Since 1988, the property has been 100 percent occupied by AT&T, which utilizes the building as their primary regional headquarters.
Led by Mark Strauss and Rob Quarton, the Walker & Dunlop team structured a two-year, interest-only loan on behalf of the joint venture property owners and repeat-clients, Shopoff Realty Investments, L.P. and Praelium Commercial Real Estate. The financing allowed for the client to close the acquisition in a timely manner and expand their portfolios in the Southeast.
William A. Shopoff, CEO of Shopoff Realty Investments, stated, “Mark and Rob found us the right lender that understood the intrinsic value of the building. The loan provided us the ability to underwrite a two-prong business plan which works whether the existing tenant elects to stay in the asset or leave upon lease expiration.”
Scott San Filippo of Praelium stated, “The Walker & Dunlop team came through for us once again. They found a great lender in a short time frame that could accommodate the fast pace of the deal closing and provide favorable terms.”
Conveniently located along the Interstate-77 corridor, 4100 South Stream enjoys excellent connectivity to residential neighborhoods such as Myers Park, Dilworth, and Quail Hollow. It is less than ten minutes from Charlotte’s Douglas International Airport and the city’s downtown central business district. The property is situated on 9.14 acres and has ample parking on two separate lots.
“Thanks to its excellent location, strong initial debt yield coverage, and price per square foot, 4100 South Stream was very well-received by lenders.” commented Strauss. Quarton added, “This transaction represents an exceptional investment opportunity, with current predictable cash flow and potential for value-add, providing excellent collateral now and upon business plan execution.”
