the non-performing first mortgage note on this
28-story mixed-income high rise provided a path to
acquisition of the fee interest at a time when tax
considerations ruled out a sale by the owner.
Ultimately the property was acquired by a
deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. Net operating income
from the 330 apartments, 204 parking spaces and
30,000 square feet of retail space increased by
more than 150% in the first full year of
operation, as new management practices were
implemented and rents were boosted to market
rates. To help support the repositioning of
the property, the common areas were renovated and
deferred life-safety and maintenance items were
addressed. |
