SRS Real Estate Partners Secures $9.59 Million Loan for the Ground Lease Acquisition of a Home Depot-Occupied Property in Cleveland Heights, OH

Newport Beach, Calif. (February 25, 2020)SRS Real Estate Partners has secured a $9.59 million loan on behalf of a private investor for the ground lease (land ownership) acquisition of a property occupied by Home Depot at 3460 Mayfield Road in Cleveland Heights, OH. Located on a 10.2-acre lot, the property features an approximately 132,000-square-foot building and a nearly 18,000-sf garden center. The sale price was $13.7 million.

Ben Townsend and Matt Marlin of SRS’ Debt & Equity team structured the non-recourse, 10-year, interest only loan at a rate of 3.65 percent on behalf the borrower, a California-based private investor.

“This was a complex loan that needed to be closed within strict 1031 exchange guidelines,” said Townsend. “We were able to negotiate and structure a 70 percent LTV, full-term interest only loan when the majority of other lenders were only able to get up to 65 percent LTV.”

“We successfully secured approval from an institutional lender and closed at the exact terms issued in the LOI,” noted Marlin.

The property is on the south side of Severance Town Center, a 60,000-sf power center featuring Marshalls, OfficeMax, Key Bank and World Gym, among others. The property is within a densely populated area with more than 141,000 residents within a three-mile radius.
