GEORGE SMITH PARTNERS - Shahin Yazdi, Jonathan Lee, David Stepanchak, Olga Alworth, Matthew Kirisits, Samuel Sarsahr and Paul Monsen with George Smith Partners arranged a $4.9 mil construction loan for a shuttered assisted living facility near downtown Los Angeles to be converted to a 42 bed co-living facility targeted toward young working professionals. As rental housing prices continue their rise many developers are addressing affordability with smaller units that offer common living amenities to maintain lower costs. The co-living concept of a singular bed/unit is popular in New York, Seattle, San Francisco and has a strong foot-hold in the Hollywood market of Los Angeles. Partially or fully furnished bedroom units are supported by a central communal kitchen. Some units will share a bath. Utilities are provided, including heat, cable and WiFi allowing residents to move-in with simplicity and ease. Social connections are encouraged through property gatherings and a movie room. . Priced at L+400, the two-year term was constrained by 70% of capitalization and 60% of “As-Stabilized” value. There is a six month option to extend for an additional 50 basis points.
