Asset Update
Senior Mortgage Loan – Gramercy Homes, LLC
On May 1, 2017, we acquired from Fundrise Lending, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of our sponsor (“Fundrise Lending”), a first mortgage construction loan with a maximum principal balance of $10,000,000, (the “Index Gramercy Senior Loan”). The borrower, Gramercy Homes, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Index Gramercy”), used the loan proceeds to purchase 26,037 square feet of entitled and permitted land and has constructed eleven homes under the Los Angeles Small Lot Ordinance at 733-743 North Gramercy Place, Los Angeles, CA (the “Index Gramercy Property”).
The 1-U filing for our initial acquisition of the Index Gramercy Senior Loan can be found here. On December 21, 2018, we provided an update on construction progress at the Index Gramercy Property and information regarding the Loan Modification, the details of which can be found here. On October 4, 2019, we provided another update on construction progress, the details of which can be found here. On January 24, 2020, we provided information regarding an additional Loan Modification, the details of which can be found here.
On May 19, 2020, Index Gramercy paid off the Index Gramercy Senior Loan for the full amount of outstanding principal drawn plus interest. All interest payments were paid in full during the investment period, and the investment yielded an internal rate of return of approximately 9.8%. Index Gramercy refinanced the Index Gramercy Senior Loan with a bridge loan.
