The Transaction
The owner-operator of a private school in Buffalo Grove had substantially completed a gut renovation of its 18-classroom facility and needed short-term capital against the improved, 100% owner-occupied property while positioning for permanent financing. INSIGNIA structured a $2,200,000 interest-only bridge loan with a 12-month initial term and two 12-month extension options, which gives the borrower up to 36 months in aggregate to complete its transition to permanent debt.
