The Pendry San Diego Receives $95M Construction Loan

by Nellie Day October 29, 2014

SAN DIEGO – The new 317-room Pendry San Diego has received $95 million in construction financing. The Montage-branded hotel will be located on 5th and J streets in Downtown San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter. The hotel will be situated three blocks from the San Diego Convention Center. Pendry San Diego will mark the launch of the new Pendry hotel brand. The development site originally housed a condemned cigar store and parking lot. It was initially considered by another developer as the site for a new Marriott Renaissance hotel. Interest waned during the recession, however, and an eminent domain issue emerged with the site’s former cigar shop owner, according to Malcolm Davies of George Smith Partners, which arranged the construction loan. The Pendry San Diego will be a 12-story hotel with several restaurants and bars, an outdoor pool, spa, grill, fitness area, ballroom and various meeting rooms. It is scheduled for completion in summer 2016. Davies also notes the development partners were seeking financing that would provide 70 percent of the proceeds necessary for the construction of this luxury hotel. The non-recourse financing features a 36-month term. The capital stack includes both debt and equity. The structure allows the loan to subordinate …

OC Industrial Base Looks for New Strategies

by Nellie Day October 28, 2014

No one will deny that the Orange County industrial market is tight, boasting a 4.1 percent vacancy. If you are an industrial user looking for 100,000 square feet or more, your options are extremely limited, as supply and demand are not working in your favor in terms of rental rates and landlord concessions. According to CoStar, positive net absorption was just above 900,000 square feet for the second quarter of 2014. Compare that with the 978,000 square feet currently under construction and it is easy to see why most believe these rate and scarcity trends will continue. A number of large warehouse and industrial buildings in Orange County are also being raised and converted to high-density residential or data center space. These facts beg the question, where will all the industrial users go? Two counterbalances have the potential to cool the decreasing vacancy and create disintermediation to the benefit of Orange County industrial users. As rental rates continue to rise in Orange County, more and more companies are being lured to the Inland Empire where they can still make two port trips a day and consolidate into a much more efficient and affordable building. Companies that grew by necessity in …
