TI Solutions

If you own an office building, you are likely struggling with increased requirement for TI, significant loss of equity value, and higher cost of borrowing for equity and debt.  In many cases, the prohibitive cost or absolute lack of capital for TI and leasing commissions to secure new tenants (or retain tenants) is causing many owners to turn their property back to the lender.  We have found a solution that delivers financing at attractive rates for 100% of TI requirements and Leasing Commissions. This financing is non-recourse to the Landlord and the building and is supported by CMBS lenders. This webinar will provide insight into how this works, for what type of credits, and how this capital solution can provide the equity and lender an improved outcome on a loan work-out.

Join us January 9th at 2pm CT to learn more!
