NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 23, 2024--

Ease Capital ("Ease") has provided a $45.5 million floating-rate loan to Boardwalk Holdings for the lease-up and stabilization of the Reserve at Temple Terrace, a 290-unit, 10-building multifamily property in Temple Terrace, FL.

Barclay Lynch, Head of Loan Originations at Ease Capital, originated and structured the three-year, full-term interest-only, non-recourse loan. Mark Vinitsky and Ralph Wurzberger of Lument represented the borrower and arranged the financing.

“We are excited to provide senior financing to the team at Boardkwalk Holdings, who has done a phenomenal job on the redevelopment and lease-up of the Reserve at Temple Terrace,” said Barclay Lynch, Head of Originations at Ease Capital. “Ease was able to tailor a flexible financing solution to support the sponsor’s business plan to refinance its existing debt and stabilize the asset.”

“We are extremely pleased with the execution we were able to obtain for our client in a challenging market environment,” said Mark Vinitsky, Managing Director at Lument. “Ease was able to provide a flexible and accretive financing solution that offered the optimal structure to support the next phase of our client’s business plan for this well-positioned property.”

The Reserve at Temple Terrace is a fully redeveloped, 290-unit multifamily rental property in the Temple Terrace submarket of the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater MSA. The asset, previously operated as a student-housing complex serving the University of South Florida, underwent a significant transformation under the ownership of the Boardwalk Holdings sponsorship team who converted the asset to a traditional, free market multifamily property. Notably, the improvement scope included gut renovations of interiors with class A finishes and significant upgrades to the amenity offerings. Located proximate to major thoroughfares offering convenient access to downtown and situated in the Temple Terrace submarket, which exhibits tight vacancies and limited new deliveries on the horizon, the asset is poised for rapid lease-up to stabilization. The Boardwalk Holdings sponsorship team has already well-executed their business plan and capitalized on the tailwinds of the broader market having achieved 45% occupancy within 6 months of completing their renovation plan.
