    Deal of the Week: Multifamily Development in Charlotte, N.C.

    The 242-unit property is currently under construction and is scheduled for completion this fall.

The property’s location next to the light-rail station is considered a competitive advantage as tenants will be able to utilize the light rail, as well as the adjacent parking garage. More

    Industrial will remain strong with plenty of available capital

    Financing for industrial will continue to be strong from all lender types, especially for stabilized properties and those with preleasing. Financing for spec industrial construction deals will depend on the submarket vacancy rate and the level of supply that is coming online. Industrial has a bit of an advantage over multifamily because of rents and government policies in certain markets. Borrowers will see plenty of available capital, although lenders could be a bit pickier going forward. More

    Retail borrowers will see plenty of capital

    Look for all types of lenders to seek retail deals throughout the rest of the year. Retail is stable and many consumers have returned to brick-and-mortar retail stores. Retail vacancies are at an all-time low and the lack of new development set to come online will continue to drive demand, as well as lead to better pricing. Look for lenders to be more aggressive in underwriting, with lower rates and more proceeds. As lenders work through challenged office loans and seek payoffs, they are looking to redeploy that capital into retail, a net positive for the retail sector. More

    Office lenders still hesitant to clock back in

    Borrowers will see available capital for office, although lenders will continue to be extremely selective and cautious. Refinances and acquisition loans will be challenging for the foreseeable future. Lenders will seek financially strong borrowers and properties with stable operating histories and no near-term lease exposure. Office lending will remain tough for a while as many lenders are still dealing with problem loans. Even if the loans are performing well, there will still be issues if they are maturing soon. Count on asset-by-asset underwriting. Borrowers who are trying to get financing without bringing new cash to the deal will face some hurdles. More
