Mortgage secured financing for a real estate development project (Stage III)
The Company has been engaged in real estate development and management activities for more than 15 years. The Company has previously successfully developed 5 multi-apartment building projects in Rīga and Baloži.
The Company is constructing an 8-apartment building in Riga. The total project costs are estimated at EUR 852 thousand, while the anticipated sales revenue is estimated at EUR 1,264 million (including VAT). The Company’s own participation in the project will be around EUR 250 thousand. The building permit has been received, and the Company intends to initiate construction as soon as possible.
Therefore, the Company is seeking EUR 44,237 financing for 24 months to proceed with construction works on the property. The loan will carry a 11.52% annual interest rate (0.96% monthly) and it will be amortized at the end of the term from the sale of the developed apartments or by refinancing it to a commercial bank. The loan will be secured with a mortgage on the property under development with a value of EUR 260,874.9 and an estimated future value of EUR 853,000 (EUR 1,032 million including VAT). In addition, a related company and the owner of both companies will provide guarantees. The project risk rate is B (87 out of 100).
The approved limit for the Company is EUR 621,600, which will be issued in tranches. All financing tranches will be secured with one - shared mortgage to the property under development with a future value of EUR 853,000 (EUR 1,032 million including VAT). These loans will not exceed 70% of the incurred hard costs (loan-to-costs) and will be disbursed based on construction progress. This progress and loan usage will be carefully supervised and reported by an independent and certified construction supervisor.There are a number of factors that make lending to the Company an attractive opportunity and the main highlights are as follows:
