Section 8 – Other Events
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On or about September 25, 2013, our wholly-owned subsidiary, TRB Mountain Park LLC, entered into a joint venture with Mountain Park 450, LLC. Contemporaneously therewith, the joint venture purchased Mountain Park Estates, a 450 unit multi-family property located at 1925 Old Highway 41, Kennesaw, GA, from EI Kennesaw, LLC. The joint venture paid approximately $51 million for the property (including the $49 million purchase price and approximately $2 million representing, among other things, third party acquisition costs, insurance and real estate tax escrows and a reserve for renovations), of which approximately $35.9 million was financed. We contributed $7.57 million to the joint venture in exchange for a 50% equity interest therein.
The $35.9 million loan bears interest at the rate of 3.99% per annum, is interest only until October 2015, amortizes on a 30 year amortization schedule thereafter, matures in October 2018, is secured by the acquired property, provides for customary events of default and is non-recourse to us and TRB Mountain Park LLC.
