Asset Update
Senior Mortgage Loan Repayment – The Creekside Project Owner, LLC
On February 26, 2021, we acquired from Fundrise Lending, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of our sponsor (“Fundrise Lending''), a first mortgage bridge loan with a maximum principal balance of $33,500,000 (the “Creekside Senior Loan”). The Borrower, The Creekside Project Owner, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Creekside”), used the loan proceeds to acquire approximately 667,000 square feet of land generally located at 30700 Rancho Viejo Road, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675 (the “Creekside Property''). Details of the acquisition can be found here.
Creekside’s business plan was to obtain approvals for an industrial development ranging between 49,000 and 80,000 square feet. However, prior to securing approvals, Creekside was able to sell the property to an industrial developer and repay the Creekside Senior Loan.
On May 14, 2021, Creekside paid back the Creekside Senior Loan for the full amount of principal, plus interest. All interest payments were paid in full during the investment period, and the investment yielded an annualized rate of return of approximately 9.5%.
