Commercial Real Estate Financing
If capital is to real estate as oxygen is to life, then what we do is important. Selecting the proper real estate financing structure is as critical to the ultimate financial performance of a real estate asset as is the acquisition decision itself. We weigh all of our clients' objectives for a particular asset and its expected performance to create the right combination of debt, mezzanine or equity financing. When you work with AMC, you work with commercial real estate financing professionals to expertly handle all aspects of the transaction. From identifying the best lender, negotiating the optimal loan terms and micro managing the entire loan process, our transaction management team is the best in the business and will insure the smoothest and quickest execution for your transaction. We believe in addressing any potential deal issues at the outset of the transaction, thereby mitigating lender re-trades after loan application. Our lenders respect and appreciate our upfront approach to doing business as much as do our clients.
Mortgage Loans
AMC makes use of the most aggressive and most competitive lenders available in today's marketplace. We are constantly attuned to the internal forces within our lending institutions that create the temporary pricing disparities. Because of the breadth and quality of our lending relationships, AMC has been consistently successful in identifying these disparities and converting them into advantageous borrowing opportunities for our clients. AMCs long established relationships with insurance companies, savings banks, foreign and domestic commercial banks, private lenders and hedge funds, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and pension funds have allowed us to provide our clients with the most competitive terms and most reliable executions in the market.
Loan types include: Bridge loans Credit-tenant lease transactions Construction loans Construction / permanent loans Fixed-rate permanent loans Structured floating-rate loans Forward commitments and Standby commitments.
Mezzanine Financing and Equity Financing
Mezzanine financing and equity capital can represent the most critical and widely variable components of a project's capitalization. Since construction and permanent lenders have uniformly lowered their leverage levels for most property types in today's marketplace, there is a growing demand for mezzanine and equity products to fill the gap between traditional leverage levels and what is currently available in the senior debt marketplace.
AMC specializes in identifying the most compatible and accretive mezzanine and equity capital alternatives for any real estate acquisition or recapitalization. Our extensive knowledge of the institutional mezzanine and equity marketplace allows us to marry the optimal structure to each client's unique requirement. With regard to equity financing, AMC offers experienced real estate investors patient, long-term capital for a myriad of property types including retail, multifamily, hotel, office and industrial. From straight 50-50 joint venture equity to preferred equity financing up to 100% of total project costs, and every permutation in between, AMC has arranged it all.
Our institutional investors offer much more than the most competitively priced equity capital. In addition to offering very attractive promote and equity-split structures, our equity sources can add value to you in ways most other institutional investors could never match. For example, we have equity investors that can dramatically lower your interest rate and increase your leverage levels on acquisition and construction loans by offering their corporate credit enhancement. For retail projects, our investors have unparalleled relationships and market clout with national and regional retailers which they are glad to bring to bear to help drive tenants to your project. Further, these investors can provide construction management and operational expertise to ensure that your project is built and operated at the most cost efficient and optimal level.
