Rhea-AI Summary

Mag Mile Capital arranged $5,175,000 of senior debt financing and $500,000 of CPACE financing for CDT Realty Corporation's adaptive-reuse development in Minneapolis. The Burlap Lofts project aims to create lux-loft office space, retail shops, and tenant amenities. Occupancy begins in early Spring 2024.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mag Mile Capital (OTC: MMCP) proudly announced that Cody Harper, VP of Originations, arranged $5,175,000 of senior debt financing from a Minnesota-based bank and an additional $500,000 of commercial property assessed clean energy (“CPACE”) financing on behalf of CDT Realty Corporation – a Minneapolis-based developer. CDT plans to complete an adaptive-reuse development of two existing brick and timber loft buildings totaling 50,000 square feet located in Northeast Minneapolis at 501-505 1^st Ave NE. Constructed in 1910, the buildings will be connected with a new elevator lobby and fully renovated to create lux-loft office space, retail shops, and a variety of tenant amenities. The project, named Burlap Lofts (www.burlaplofts.com) aims to blend high design with historic charm in the already booming East Bank/Nicollet Island submarket.

Building features will include a club room with tenant lounge and full kitchen, large screen tv’s and gaming, private call booths, break-out/meeting spaces, rooftop garden terrace, curated art featuring Minneapolis artists and sculptors, a grand entrance with courtyard terrace and outdoor seating, and on-site Harmony Coffee offering on-demand delivery to building tenants. Building interiors will highlight the existing industrial features of exposed brick and timber, antique steel-clad fire doors, high ceilings, huge windows, and new polished concrete floors throughout. CDT is listing between 2,000-40,000 square feet available for lease with occupancy beginning early Spring 2024.

CDT’s principal, Chad Tepley, is a repeat client of Harper and Mag Mile Capital. “Chad has a talent for finding underutilized assets and creating a new and fresh product in the marketplace. It will be fun to see the energy this project brings to the neighborhood,” said Harper.

The 81% loan-to-cost debt ratio combines floating-rate construction-period financing with fixed-rate permanent debt and 20-year, fixed-rate CPACE financing. “It’s no secret that office space is taboo in today’s market, so it was critical to find lending partners who shared my excitement with this location and the unique spaces that we will be offering.”

With this loan closing Mag Mile Capital highlights how to use Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (CPACE) financing as an innovative tool that provides a relatively low-cost, long-term financing for energy efficiency, renewable energy, water conservation, and resiliency projects in commercial buildings. “By pairing construction-to-permanent bank financing with CPACE, Cody arranged above-market loan proceeds on a hard to finance property type in a challenging capital market environment. Cody set up a repeat client for success,” commented Mag Mile Capital CEO Rushi Shah
