“We marketed this financing opportunity across a wide spectrum of lenders including regional banks, CMBS lenders, life companies and money center banks. We went through a three-round bidding process before selecting a national lender,” said Ethan Schelin, managing partner at Schelin Uldricks.
“Some real estate sponsors are sensing that the real estate market is heading toward price correction, so they are interested in bolstering liquidity ahead of any disruptions,” remarked Derek Uldricks, managing partner at Schelin Uldricks. “Many investors look back and wish they had more cash to invest in real estate when it was an out-of-favor asset.”
Somo Village serves as a hub of both national and local business in the area as well as a model for economic and environmental sustainability. The project generates 4 megawatts of energy across the vast array of solar panels affixed to the roof of the project, drastically reducing reliance on the California energy grid.
