On October 15, 2015, the Company agreed to invest up to $23.0 million in the Point Street Apartments project in the Harbor Point area of Baltimore, Maryland. Point Street Apartments is an estimated $93.0 million development project with plans for a 17-story building comprised of 289 residential units and 18,000 square feet of street-level retail space. Beatty Development Group (“BDG”) is the developer of the project and has engaged the Company to serve as construction general contractor. Point Street Apartments is scheduled to open in 2017; however, management can provide no assurances that Point Street Apartments will open on the anticipated timeline.

 

BDG is responsible for securing a senior construction loan of up to $70.0 million to fund the development and construction of Point Street Apartments. The Company has agreed to guarantee up to $25.0 million of the senior construction loan in exchange for the option to purchase up to an 88% controlling interest in Point Street Apartments upon completion of the project as follows: (i) an option to purchase a 79% indirect interest in Point Street Apartments for $27.3 million, exercisable within one year from the project’s completion (the “First Option”) and (ii) provided that the Company has exercised the First Option, an option to purchase an additional 9% indirect interest in Point Street Apartments for $3.1 million, exercisable within 27 months from the project’s completion (the “Second Option”).

 

The Company’s investment in the Point Street Apartments project is in the form of a loan under which BDG may borrow up to $23.0 million (the “BDG loan”). Interest on the BDG loan accrues at 8.0% per annum and matures on the earlier of: (i) November 1, 2018, which may be extended by BDG under two one-year extension options, (ii) the maturity date or earlier termination of the senior construction loan or (iii) the date the Company exercises the Second Option as described further below.

 

In the event the Company exercises the First Option, BDG is required to simultaneously pay down the senior construction loan by $7.4 million and the BDG loan by $19.9 million, at which time the interest rate on the BDG loan will automatically be reduced to the interest rate on the senior construction loan plus 200 basis points. In the event the Company exercises the Second Option, BDG is required to simultaneously repay any remaining amounts outstanding under the BDG loan, with any excess proceeds received from the exercise of the Second Option applied against the senior construction loan. In the event the Company does not exercise either the First Option or the Second Option, the interest rate on the BDG loan will automatically be reduced to the interest rate on the senior construction loan for the remaining term of the BDG loan. In the event BDG is unable to secure a senior construction loan on or before June 30, 2016, the interest rate on the BDG loan will be reduced to one-month LIBOR plus 200 basis points.

 

As of December 31, 2015, the Company had funded $7.8 million under the BDG loan and for the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recognized $0.1 million of interest income on the BDG loan.

 

Because BDG is the developer of Point Street Apartments, the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the project that most significantly impact its performance, nor is the Company the party most closely associated with the project. Therefore, the Company is not the project's primary beneficiary.
