Creative Financing: The Key to SecuringDeals I n a well balanced market, traditional financing is the usual and conventional method of providing capital for transactions. However, we seldom find ourselves in a well balanced market. Trends and perceptions usually bring us to either a sellers market, or a buyers market. Prior to the savings & loan collapse of the 1980’s, interest rates had climbed to unsustain - able levels. Prime rate hit a high of 12% while investment properties were commanding a 10% capitalization rate. In that era of inflation and expected appreciation, banks were ready to accept development fees as financeable and issued 100% - 120% loan to value financing. And then it all came tumbling down. Over 1,000 of 3,200 sav - ing & loan associations failed. Then came the meltdown of the 2008 financial crisis. With precipitously falling real estate values, lenders again found themselves with overfinanced properties. One executive vice

president of a financial group would only write 60% LTV loans. If the market continued to slide another 20% in values, he would still have an 80% loan. That brought about a challeng - ing situation for developers. They would have to put up 40% real live equity in order to move forward with a project. The age of Covid-19 has thrown un unprecedented monkey wrench into the world of financing. Now, more than ever, is a time for creative financing. Just about every commercial real estate landlord has found his cash flow to be interrupted. Manufacturing operations have been halted, office space
has been hit harder, and retail has been hit worst of all. Now, more than ever we are in need of creative financing. Today, try calling your land - lord or you bank and telling them you can’t pay this month. We have all experienced how long it takes to obtain bank approval on financing. The process starts with a myriad of forms. Then the requests for additional information, and, of course, the “committee” who, like the spectators in the Roman Coliseum, issue either a Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down. Their decisions can be arbitrary, capricious, and absolutely final. continued on page 14A

Anchor’s co-man - aged discretionary equity fund, Chestnut Healthcare Fund I , also invested in the project. Anchor’s chief investment officer James Schmid stated, “We are very pleased to an- nounce this new acquisition, which marks our sixth thus far in 2020. We continue to be quite active across the Unit - ed States through uncertain times in the capital markets and are looking forward to expanding our presence in IRF sector. The firmhas significant experience acquiring and de - veloping IRFs across its prin - cipals. Maintaining a positive outlook and keeping active on the investment front right now is more critical than ever. We are seeing an increase in de- mand for medical services and we expect this strong demand to continue for the foreseeable future. The sector has proven to rebound quickly following state lockdowns as healthcare is a basic need for American consumers.” MAREJ

OONTON , NJ — Cushman & Wake - field’s Capital Mar - kets team has arranged the sale of Dels Village Shopping Center, a 51,794 s/f grocery- anchored retail property in Boonton. Located at 115 Hawkins Place, the Kings Food Market- anchored center was sold by ROI Management to an undisclosed private buyer. The commercial real estate services firm represented the seller and procured the buyer in the $12.5 million trade orchestrated by East Ruther - ford-based investment sales specialists Seth Pollack, Andrew Merin, David Ber - nhaut, Gary Gabriel, Brian Whitmer, Kyle Schmidt and OLD BRIDGE, NJ — R.J. Brunelli & Co., LLC an- nounced the recent completion of leases with Jersey Strong, Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, and local retailers, as well as sales of freestanding restau - rant and retail sites in various parts of New Jersey. The Old Bridge-based retail real estate brokerage’s activ - ity included the lease for a 25,067 s/f Jersey Strong fit - ness center that’s expected to open in the second quarter of 2020 at Dover Park Plaza in Yardville. Located at the intersection of Sunnybrae Blvd. and South Broad St., the 56,000 s/f Mercer County center is co-anchored by CVS. The township recently ap - proved the addition of a 3,000 s/f mezzanine within Jersey Strong that will be utilized for yoga and other fitness classes. Robert Kwiatkowski , R.J. Brunelli VP-tenant represen - tation, represented Jersey Strong in the firm’s capacity as exclusive tenant representa - tive for the chain throughout New Jersey. The firm also represented the landlord on the transaction in its role as exclusive leasing agent for the property, with president and principal Danielle Brunelli serving as listing agent and sales associate Peter Miller
Situated on a 4.4-acre parcel in northern New Jersey’s Mor - ris County, the center is one mile from I-287 and Rte. 202. Morris County consistently ranks in the top 10 wealthiest counties in the nation. “The property’s loyal, highly afflu - ent demographic base is a com - pelling attribute and will keep the center poised for future stability,” added Whitmer.

Dollar Tree expects to open during the third quarter of 2020 at the 93,251 s/f center, which is anchored by a recently opened Jersey Strong and Walgreens, which previously moved from an inline space to an outparcel with a drive-thru. Brunelli represented both the landlord and tenant on the Dollar Tree transaction. Meanwhile, Brunelli repre - sented the landlord on a lease that will bring a 20,696 s/f Market 516 grocery store to Walgreens’ former inline store and several adjoining spaces at the Rte. 516 center. Mike Horne of CBRE represented the tenant on that transaction. In Union County, the firm brokered an amendment for Family Dollar that extends the chain’s lease at 227 East Front St. in downtown Plain - field and enlarges its footprint from 6,000 s/f to 10,000 s/f. The retailer, which is expand - ing into an adjacent 4,000 s/f former furniture store, will also remodel its existing space. Opening of the expanded space is estimated for the second quarter of 2020.

Elcan and Associates , a Dol- lar Tree developer, purchased the site from The Kokes Or - ganization. “The contract be - tween Elcan and Kokes was signed in April of 2018, but the sale was not finalized until two years later, reflecting the time it took to receive approvals from all of the governmental entities,” said Brunelli, who represented Elcan on its acqui - sition of the property. Located near Lake Rd., the site is in close proximity to a Stop & Shop-anchored center and a freestanding Rite Aid. Dollar Tree additionally signed for a 10,056 s/f space at 2695 Rte. 516 in Old Bridge R.J.

Ex - pected to open this summer, this will be the first brick-and- mortar location for the popu - lar food truck operator, which features build-your-own bowls with farm-fresh ingredients. The firm also brokered a total of five deals for Dollar Tree and sister retailer Fam - ily Dollar Stores in its role as exclusive leasing representa - tive for the two chains in New Jersey. In Gloucester County, Dol - lar Tree signed a lease for a 9,600 s/f space at Cross Keys Commons, located at 3501 Rte. 42 in Turnersville. The
chain will occupy the former Children's Place space and an adjacent vacancy at the 216,323 s/f center anchored by Walmart, Ross, ULTA, Five Below, and Famous Footwear. Brunelli brokered the lease for Dollar Tree, which plans a sec - ond-quarter 2020 opening at the Brixmor-owned property. Further north in Mercer County, Brunelli brokered Dol - lar Tree’s lease for an 11,015 s/f space formerly occupied by CVS at 2495 Brunswick Ave. in Lawrence Twp. The chain will be relocating from a free - standing building across the street to the recently acquired and renovated 367,267 s/f cen - ter.

Conversely, there is the world of private financing. When deals may not fit neatly into the bank’s lending parameters there can be other options to pursue. “Hard Money” comes with higher interest rates con- comitant with the perceived higher risk involved that what the bank would underwrite. Hard money is usually funded by private lenders. The cost is higher than a bank but less than having a partner. Privately help businesses are typically sold with the in- corporation of seller financing often referred to as a Purchase Money Mortgage. Inherent with this form of financing is generally the ability to be most flexible. In todays challenging cash flow environment, an ad - justment in financing is often just one phone call away. A call to your lender can lead to inter- est only for a period of time, or forbearance on all payments. A usual resolution would be for something along the lines of several months with no pay- ments. The resolution would provide for interest to accrue during that time. A loan can be extended to amortize any delayed payments or accrued interest. Modification agree- ments can usually be written up in a single page modification agreement. On a seasonal restaurant lo- cation, the seller is carrying a $500,000 first mortgage. The New Jersey’s Restart & Re- covery Advisory Council. The council was formed by New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy to advise state lead- ership on economic matters impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to focusing on issues related to the restarting of businesses in New Jersey, the council will also work on a frame- work to facilitate the long- term growth of the state’s economy. DeMarco will serve on the Facilities and Construction Subcommittee, joining an

K
ey Market Trends The following re- sults were based on
the two-and-a-half month pe- riod prior to the pandemic shutdown. • The overall vacancy re - mained at 9.0%. class A va- cancy increased from 11.5% to 12.1% due to smaller space givebacks. The class B vacancy rate decreased from 7.3% to 7.0%. • The weighted average asking rent remained essen- tially flat for class A and class B space. • Leasing activity was very limited even before the state- wide business shutdown. Gen- eral uncertainty about the duration of this economic event and the assessment of longer term impacts are likely to im- pact business decisions for the next one to two quarters at the minimum. • No immediate, sharp in - crease in vacancy is anticipated and asking rental rates are projected to remain flat for the next quarter. However, there may be sig- nificant changes to future office space needs. Companies have had to adjust to having a re- mote workforce and are likely to have to provide flexibility for employees who want to con- tinue working from home. The office environment may also be adjusted to provide more room for employees, ending the trend of tightly grouped, collaborative workspaces. With these changes, it is expected that despite the economic un- certainty going forward, office space needs will remain con- stant, and the amount of space
needed per employee may actu- ally increase. Investment Activity: New to and on the Market An 8,470 s/f, two-story of- fice building on Layton Rd. in Clark’s Summit came on the market at $775,000 this past quarter, targeted to either an owner/user or investor. • The medical office building at 4437 N. Center St. in Potts- ville is a high vacancy asset that was brought to market just after the New Year. It is being marketed to an owner/ user for $795,000. • A 10,000 s/f professional office complex on Route 611 in Tannersville is available as an REO sale. • After seven months the Waterfront Professional Park at 670 – 672 S River St. in Plains is still on the market for sale unpriced. This two build- ing, 122,000 s/f complex is just off the Cross-Valley Express- way and minutes fromWilkes- Barre General Hospital. • A five-building portfolio of medical office buildings throughout PA anchored by Dental Care Associates and containing 39,000 square feet
is offered at $7,225,000 which is purported to yield a 7% cap rate on existing NOI. One of the assets is in Montoursville, and another is in Selinsgrove. The properties may be purchased individually. The offering first came to market in Oct. 2019. • The 417 Lackawanna Av - enue building in downtown Scranton remains on the mar- ket since 2016 despite its 75% occupancy with credit tenants. Offered at $3,850,000, this 31,420 s/f, class A office build - ing is being touted as soon to be 100% occupied.
