Contract Control Number: GE2Y004-08
Vendor/Contractor Name (including any “DBA”): NEWSED Community Development Corporation
Type and Scope of services to be performed:
This resolution and loan amendment pertains to the commercial portion of a NEWSED-owned, mixed-use property at 901 West 10th Avenue known as the Villa De Barela (VDB). The ground floor is retail/commercial space and the upper floors are affordable housing.
In 1993, DEDO originally financed a $1,000,000 loan to develop the commercial portion of the property. The three-acre site was successfully developed into 10,000 SF of commercial/retail space and 38 units of affordable housing. The initial terms of the city’s commercial loan were 10 years, 3% interest, and a monthly P&I of $4,216.
Six subsequent amendments to the commercial loan have deferred payments on a short-term basis, adjusted the P&I payments and the interest rate, and exchanged deeds of trust and encumbrances.
In 2017, at the time of the sixth loan amendment, the commercial condo was appraised with a broker’s opinion valuing it at $2 million. The city’s most recent valuation of the commercial portion of the property is estimated to be $2,155,500.
NEWSED has now requested that DEDO defer VDB/NEWSED’s monthly loan payments for 12 months due to the loss of its largest commercial tenant, Interstate Kitchen & Bar, which closed its operations in May 2019. Interstate’s monthly rent was $8,969. Cushman & Wakefield was secured to find a replacement tenant(s), although the pandemic prevented this from occurring. One tenant remains, paying $2,061 monthly. This monthly income is insufficient for NEWSED to cover its debt payments on the commercial condo, including a first mortgage obligation to First Bank (monthly payment is $3,089; principal loan balance is $547,187) and DEDO’s loan (monthly payment is $5,000).
DEDO equity in this commercial portion is currently estimated to be $1.608 million, which is more than enough to cover DEDO’s outstanding loan balance of $863,562.
