LOS ANGELES, CA. September 21, 2016 - Sonnenblick-Eichner Company has arranged $75 million of first mortgage leasehold financing for Cavallo Point-The Lodge at the Golden Gate located in Sausalito, CA.
The financing was a non-recourse, five-year balance sheet, LIBOR-based loan provided by an international money center bank.
“Given the unique nature and irreplaceable location of the property, we were able to attract multiple financing options,” said Elliot Eichner, principal of Sonnenblick-Eichner Company. “The borrower chose a floating rate balance sheet loan affording them maximum flexibility.”
“The excellent sponsorship and management team augmented the significant lender interest in the financing,” added Patrick Brown, also a principal of Sonnenblick-Eichner Company.”
