LOAN ACQUISITIONS

 



15 Non-performing HUD Apartment Loans
AL, AZ, CO, KY, LA, MS, TX
HUD is a regular seller of its non-performing apartment loans and PNL has developed expertise in turning around these distressed assets, most of which have been mismanaged and require foreclosure and renovation by PNL.  Our asset management team has repositioned thousands of apartment units from California to Florida.

 

Participating Mezzanine Loan on 183-unit Luxury Condominium
Toronto, Ontario
The publicly traded seller of this loan, Amresco, was in serious financial distress and needed to sell some assets quickly to meet a pending bond payment.  To accommodate Amresco, PNL negotiated, underwrote and closed this transaction in approximately three weeks.  We then worked with the borrower, the largest condominium developer in Toronto, to bring the project to completion and repay the loan and its 45% participation interest.

 

 

 

Unsecured Working Capital Notes on Syndicated
Partnerships

AL, FL, IL, MI, MS
The national apartment syndicator, Angeles, made working capital loans to prop up many of its failing partnerships during the late 1980s.  Angeles subsequently went bankrupt and the party who purchased its general partner interests largely ignored these outstanding obligations until PNL purchased them from the Creditors’ Committee.  PNL tripled its equity in 16 months.


 

 

Mortgage on Former Sears Roebuck Headquarters
Chicago, IL
From 1912 until the completion of the Sears Tower in 1973, this 250,000 square foot office building was the executive headquarters for the nation’s largest retailer.  Now located in an inner-city neighborhood, the office property had severe leasing challenges and was subject to a ground lease.  The high retrofit costs combined with a soft office market caused PNL to sell this property at a loss.
PNL ultimately sold the property to a local developer for redevelopment into subsidized residential housing.
   

 

 

High LTV Loan Secured by 36 Residential Lots
La Mesa, CA
PNL acquired this maturing defaulted loan from a local bank and has worked with the developer to complete the infrastructure and sell the finished lots to homebuilders.  The lot development of this mesa presented substantial engineering challenges but created exceptional views to downtown San Diego and the Pacific.


 

 

Two Sub-Performing Loans Secured by 350,000 Square Feet of Office
Dallas, TX
The seller of the notes was a national insurance company seeking to limit its exposure to the north Dallas office market. The properties had significant rollover risk but PNL worked with the debtor to keep the loans current and ultimately sold them several years later to a major investment bank.


 

 

Non-Performing Loan Secured by 57 Condominiums
Bellevue, WA
Typical of many bank mergers, the acquiring bank sought to reduce the non-performing loan exposure in the acquired bank’s portfolio. The underlying Library Square project was delayed in completion but fundamentally sound.  PNL extended the maturing loan and worked with the developer to fund completion and bring the project to success.
