Nashville’s Tight CBD Benefits the Metro’s Satellite Office Submarkets

by John Nelson April 10, 2017

Robust population and job growth are fueling a resurgence across all sectors of Nashville’s commercial real estate market, pushing vacancies lower, boosting rental rates and attracting strong interest from investors. With increasing demand for office space in the central business district (CBD), a rush of both in- and out-of-state developers and equity have descended on Nashville to deliver Class A product. That delivery timeline has subsequently pushed the demand for existing space to the adjacent Midtown, Wedgewood-Houston and MetroCenter submarkets. These satellite areas are benefiting from the positive absorption with existing space back-filled in record time, and some deliveries of conversions of older warehouses to hip office and retail space. CBD Construction Perhaps predictably, after the city climbed higher among the nation’s top job markets, (ranking third on NerdWallet’s list based on top cities’ unemployment rates and increase in working-age population between 2010- 2015), Nashville ranked sixth among the nation’s top cities for real estate investing in 2017, one spot higher than last year, in the annual Emerging Trends in Real Estate report put together by PricewaterhouseCooper and the Urban Land Institute.

Love Funding Provides $10.8M HUD Loan to Convert Mill in Upstate South Carolina into Loft Apartments

by John Nelson April 7, 2017

GREER, S.C. — Love Funding has provided a $10.8 million loan to convert a former textile mill into Lofts by the Lake at Apache Mill, a proposed 97-unit apartment community in Greer. The development team is led by real estate veteran Dale Goodrich. Tammy Tate of Love Funding arranged the loan through HUD’s 221(d)(4) loan insurance program, which provides low-rate financing during construction and for a subsequent 40-year term. The transaction also makes use of federal and state historic tax credits, as well as state textile mill credits. Since the majority of the tax credits aren’t available until final completion, Tate also helped arrange a bridge loan for the borrower through Love Funding’s parent company, Midland States Bank. The 7.2-acre property was originally developed in the mid-1830s, and the first modern mill was constructed as a brick facility in 1988. The proposed apartment community will feature two-story windows, pine columns, exposed historic brick walls, lake views in 51 of the units and communal resources including lake access and kayak shoots. The project team includes architect Joe W. Hiller Jr. and general contractor Triangle Construction Co. Blue Ridge Property Management will manage Lofts by the Lake at Apache Mill upon completion.
