Note 6 – Loans Payable and Secured Line of Credit

Corporate Credit Facility

In December 2019, we entered into a multiple draw credit agreement aggregating $70.0 million (the “Corporate Credit Facility,” or “CCF”), which may be increased by $25.0 million subject to satisfaction of certain conditions and the consent of the lender (the “CCF Lender”).  Draws under the Corporate Credit Facility were allowed during the 32-month period following the closing date of the Corporate Credit Facility (the “Closing Date”). The CCF matures on December 19, 2024, subject to extensions until December 19, 2025 and June 19, 2026, respectively, under certain circumstances. The CCF provided for the proceeds of the CCF to be used for investments in certain multi-family apartment buildings in the greater New York City area and certain non-residential real estate investments approved by the CCF Lender in its reasonable discretion, as well as in connection with certain property recapitalizations and in specified amounts for general corporate purposes and working capital.

In connection with the December 2020 transaction noted under “Mezzanine Loan” below, the Company entered into an amendment to the CCF, pursuant to which, among other things, (i) we were permitted to enter into the Mezzanine Loan Agreement (as defined below) and related documents, (ii) the commitment made by the CCF Lender under the CCF was reduced by the $7.5 million, and (iii) the MOIC amount was amended to combine the CCF and the Mezzanine Loan. In addition, the exercise price of the warrants issued in connection with the CCF was amended from $6.50 per share to $4.31 per share (the “Warrant Agreement Amendment”) (see Note 11 – Stockholders Equity – Warrants to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion regarding the warrants).

In connection with the closing of the 77 Mortgage Loan and amendment to the Mezzanine Loan described below, we entered into amendments, dated as of October 22, 2021 and November 10, 2021, to our CCF pursuant to which, among other things, the parties agreed that (a) no additional funds will be drawn under the CCF, (b) the minimum liquidity requirement was made consistent with the 77 Mortgage Loan Agreement until May 1, 2023, (c) the Company will repay the outstanding principal balance of the CCF in an amount no less than $7.0 million on or prior to May 1, 2023 and (d) the multiple on invested capital (the “MOIC”) provisions were revised to provide that (i) the MOIC amount due upon final repayment of the CCF was amended to be consistent with the Mezzanine Loan such that if no event of default exists and is continuing under the CCF at any time prior to June 22, 2023, the amount due will be combined with the Mezzanine Loan, to the extent not previously paid, if any, and (ii) the amount of the CCF used to calculate the MOIC was reduced to $35.75 million. We entered into an amendment in November 2022, which eliminated the minimum liquidity requirement.

In April 2023, the Company amended the CCF to provide that cash interest payments and the $7.0 million repayment due May 1, 2023 would be deferred until August 31, 2023 (the “Restricted Period”).  If the Company has an executed commitment for a financing, sale transaction or other strategic transaction which results in the repayment in full of the obligations under the CCF (a “Strategic Transaction”), the Restricted Period will be extended automatically for 30 days and may be further extended for an additional 30 days upon the approval of the CCF Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld. The CCF Amendment also provides, among other things, that (i) the Company shall either enter into a Strategic Transaction that results in the repayment of the CCF or repay the CCF by $5.0 million from equity proceeds on or prior to the end of the Restricted Period; (ii) the Company shall provide certain additional periodic financial reporting; and (iii) the

ability of the Company to make certain previously permitted investments and other payments is suspended until the end of the Restricted Period. In June 2023, we further amended the CCF, which amendment provided, among other things, that (i) the CCF would be increased by up to $5,000,000, with $3,000,000 to be used for general corporate purposes and certain other items if applicable, and up to $2,000,000 to be used in connection with the extension of the loans in respect of 237 11th, including the purchase of an interest rate cap, (ii) the interest rate of the CCF was increased by 0.20%, and (iii) certain covenants and other terms of the CCF were revised, including that a refinancing of 237 11th (excluding the extension of the existing loans) and/or the property in Paramus, New Jersey requires the prior written consent of the CCF Lender; the Company was required to meet with the CCF Lender to review the results of the Company’s strategic process, endeavor in good faith to establish mutually acceptable next steps, and provide copies of written term sheets received from participants in the strategic process, including at least one that addresses repayment or purchase of the CCF; and the removal of the ability of the Company to incur certain types of previously permitted debt and make previously permitted investments and other restricted payments.  In connection with this amendment, we issued 750,000 shares of common stock to the CCF Lender and the number of warrants held by the CCF Lender was reduced by the same amount.

In August 2023, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement (the “CCF Forbearance Agreement”), pursuant to which the CCF Lender agreed to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies during the Forbearance Period (defined below) with respect to (i) any failure by the Company, as borrower, to make payments under the CCF including, without limitation, the amortization payment in the amount of $7,000,000 on or prior to August 31, 2023 and any cash interest payments and (ii) any failure by the Company, as borrower, to consummate a Strategic Transaction on or prior to August 31, 2023 (the “CCF Forbearance Defaults”).

 

Under the CCF Forbearance Agreement, the period of forbearance (the “Forbearance Period”) ends on the earliest of (i) the consummation of a Strategic Transaction, (ii) an event of default other than the CCF Forbearance Defaults, (iii) the failure of the Company to have entered into term sheets with respect to a Strategic Transaction by August 31, 2023 or to have consummated a Strategic Transaction by December 31, 2023, (iv) a representation made by the Company in the CCF Forbearance Agreement shall fail to be correct in all material respects, (v) the filing of a complaint by the Mortgage Lender to foreclose a Mortgage, as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement, or a comparable exercise of remedy thereunder, or (vi) the Potential Strategic Party states in writing that it is no longer pursuing a transaction with the Company and is not replaced by a third party pursuing a substantially similar transaction within thirty days.

The CCF bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) 5.25% and (ii) a scheduled interest rate of 4% (the “Cash Pay Interest Rate”) which increases by 0.125% every six-month period from the Closing Date, subject to increase during the extension periods. The effective interest rate at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was 10.325% and 10.0%, respectively.  A $2.45 million commitment fee was payable 50% on the initial draw and 50% as amounts under the CCF are drawn, with any remaining balance due on the last date of the draw period, and a 1.0% exit fee is payable in respect of CCF repayments. As of September 30, 2023, we had paid $1.85 million of the commitment fee.  With the reduction in the committed amount under the CCF, no further commitment fee is due.  The CCF may be prepaid at any time subject to a prepayment premium on the portion of the CCF being repaid. The CCF is subject to certain mandatory prepayment provisions, including that, subject to the terms of the mortgage loan documents applicable to the Company’s 77 Greenwich property, 90% or 100% of the net cash proceeds of residential condominium sales, depending on the circumstances, and 70% of the net cash proceeds of retail condominium sales at the Company’s 77 Greenwich property shall be used to repay the CCF. Upon final repayment of the CCF, the MOIC amount equal to 30% of the initial CCF amount plus drawn incremental amounts less the sum of all interest payments, commitment fee and exit fee payments and prepayment premiums, if any, shall be due, if such amounts are less than the MOIC amount. The collateral for the CCF consists of (i) 100% of the equity interests in our direct subsidiaries, to the extent such a pledge is permitted by the organizational documents of such subsidiary and any financing agreements to which such subsidiary is a party, (ii) our cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash applied toward certain liquidity requirements under existing financing arrangements, and (iii) other non-real estate assets of ours, including intellectual property. The Company determined that the CCF amendment will be treated as a modification with no gain or loss recognized during the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2023 as the carrying amount of the loan was not greater than the respective undiscounted cash flows of the modified loan.

The CCF provides that we and our subsidiaries must comply with various affirmative and negative covenants including restrictions on debt, liens, business activities, equity repurchases, distributions and dividends, disposition of assets and transactions with affiliates, as well as financial covenants regarding corporate loan to value and net worth. The CCF also provides for certain events of default, including cross-defaults to our other loans, and for a guaranty of the CCF obligations by our loan party subsidiaries.

Pursuant to the terms of the CCF, so long as the CCF is outstanding and the CCF Lender is owed or holds greater than 50% of the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of the balance outstanding and (y) the aggregate unused commitments, the CCF Lender will have the right to appoint one member to our and each of our subsidiary’s board of directors or equivalent governing body (the “Designee”). At the election of the CCF Lender, a board observer may be selected in lieu of a board member. The Designee may also sit on up to three committees of the board of directors or equivalent governing body of ours and each subsidiary of the Designee’s choosing from time to time. The Designee will be entitled to receive customary reimbursement of expenses incurred in connection with his or her service as a member of the board and/or any committee thereof but will not, except in the case of an independent director, receive compensation for such service. The April 2023 amendment to the CCF also provided the CCF Lender with the right to appoint an independent director to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Independent Director Designee”), in addition to its existing right to appoint the Designee so long as the advances remain outstanding and the CCF Lender is owed or holds greater than 50% of the sum of the aggregate principal amount of advances outstanding and the aggregate unused commitments. At the election of the CCF Lender, a Board observer may be selected in lieu of the Independent Director Designee. The Independent Director Designee, who was appointed in May 2023, may sit on up to three Board committees and will be automatically included on any Board committee relating to a Strategic Transaction.

As of September 30, 2023, the CCF was fully drawn and had an outstanding balance of $40.75 million and $35.75 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, excluding deferred finance fees of $581,000 and $1.3 million, respectively.  Accrued interest, which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses, totaled approximately $9.1 million at September 30, 2023 and $6.1 million at December 31, 2022, of which approximately $419,000 was paid during the first week of January 2023.  

Loans Payable

77 Mortgage Loan

In October 2021, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours (the “Mortgage Borrower”) entered into a loan agreement with Macquarie PF Inc., a part of Macquarie Capital, the advisory, capital markets and principal investment arm of Macquarie Group, as lender and administrative agent (the “77 Mortgage Lender”), pursuant to which 77 Mortgage Lender agreed to extend credit to Mortgage Borrower in the amount of up to $166.7 million (the “77 Mortgage Loan”), subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions (the “77 Mortgage Loan Agreement”). We borrowed $133.1 million on the closing date of the 77 Mortgage Loan and a portion of the proceeds of the 77 Mortgage Loan, together with the proceeds of an increase in the Mezzanine Loan, the Berkley Partner Loan and funds raised through the Private Placement were used to repay the 77 Greenwich construction facility that the Company entered into in December 2017.  At the time of the closing of the 77 Mortgage Loan in October 2021, $33.6 million was available to be used to, among other things, complete construction of 77 Greenwich and fund carry costs while the residential condominium units are being sold.  

The 77 Mortgage Loan had a two-year term and matured on October 1, 2023.  The 77 Mortgage Loan is secured by the Mortgage Borrower’s fee interest in 77 Greenwich. In May 2023, the loan benchmark was converted from LIBOR to SOFR.  The 77 Mortgage Loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) 7.00% in excess of SOFR and (ii) 7.25%; provided that, if, on April 22, 2023, the outstanding principal balance of the 77 Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued and unpaid PIK Interest and unpaid Additional Unused Fee (as those terms are defined below) is equal to or greater than $91.0 million, the rate per annum will be equal to the greater of (i) 9.00% in excess of SOFR and (ii) 9.25%. The all-in interest rate was 12.08% at September 30, 2023.  If cash flow from 77 Greenwich (including proceeds from the sales of residential condominium units) is insufficient to pay interest payments when due, any accrued but unpaid interest will remain unpaid and interest will continue to accrue on such unpaid amounts (“PIK Interest”) until the cumulative PIK Interest and Additional Unused Fee accrues to $4.5 million (the “Threshold Amount”), after which all such amounts in excess of the Threshold Amount shall be paid in cash on a monthly basis until such amounts are less than the Threshold Amount. As advances of the 77 Mortgage Loan are made to Mortgage Borrower and the outstanding principal balance of the 77 Mortgage Loan increases, net proceeds from the sales of condominium units will be paid to 77 Mortgage Lender to reduce the outstanding balance of the 77 Mortgage Loan. A 1% per annum fee (the “Additional Unused Fee”) on a $3.0 million portion (the “Additional Amount”) of the 77 Mortgage Loan, is payable on a monthly basis on the undrawn portion of such Additional Amount. To the extent the 77 Mortgage Loan was not fully funded by October 22, 2022 (April 22, 2023 in the case of amounts with respect to construction work related to the new handicapped accessible subway entrance on Trinity Place), 77 Mortgage Lender had the discretion to force fund the remaining balance other than the Additional Amount into a reserve account held by 77 Mortgage Lender and disbursed in accordance with the terms of the 77 Mortgage

Loan Agreement. The 77 Mortgage Lender elected to force fund the 77 Mortgage Loan in October 2022.  The 77 Mortgage Loan is prepayable without penalty, subject to 77 Mortgage Lender receiving a minimum total return of $15.26 million, or if an advance has been made of the Additional Amount, the sum of $15.26 million, plus 10% of the Additional Amount that has been disbursed, in each case, inclusive of interest and fees, and must be prepaid in part in certain circumstances such as in the event of the sale of residential and retail condominium units. Mortgage Borrower was required to achieve completion of the construction work and the improvements for the project on or before July 1, 2022, subject to certain exceptions. The 77 Mortgage Loan Agreement also includes additional customary affirmative and negative covenants for loans of this type.  In November 2022, we amended the 77 Mortgage Loan to, amongst other things, extend the Final Completion date to September 29, 2023 and eliminate the liquidity requirement. The Company is in active discussions with the 77 Mortgage Lender to amend the 77 Mortgage Loan, inclusive of an extension of the Final Completion date.  At that time, we drew down $3.0 million under the letter of credit to fund an interest reserve and $1.0 million to pay down the PIK balance. The Company determined that the 77 Mortgage Loan was considered a troubled debt restructuring due to a decrease in the post restructuring effective interest rate. The Company determined that the 77 Mortgage Loan will be treated as a modification with no gain or loss recognized during the nine month period ended September 30, 2023 as the carrying amount of the loan was not greater than the respective undiscounted cash flows of the modified loan.

In September 2023, the Company and the Mortgage Borrower entered into a forbearance agreement effective as of September 1, 2023 (the “Mortgage Loan Forbearance Agreement”), for the purpose of providing additional time for the Company to pursue a potential strategic transaction, pursuant to which the Mortgage Lender agreed to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies during the Forbearance Period, as defined below, with respect to any failure by the Mortgage Borrower to (i) make payments under the Mortgage Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, interest payments due on September 1, 2023 and principal and interest payments due at maturity and (ii) achieve any Milestone Construction Hurdles or to satisfy the Quarterly Sales Hurdle (each as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) or make the related prepayment as and when required (the “MLA Forbearance Defaults”), for a period ending on the earlier of November 15, 2023 or the occurrence of other events specified therein.  A condition to continued forbearance in this agreement was not met, but the Company is in active discussions with its 77 Mortgage Lender with respect to additional forbearance and a restructuring and extension of the 77 Mortgage Loan, in connection with a potential strategic transaction. There is no certainty that terms will be agreed upon or, if agreed, the timing of such restructuring, if any. The 77 Mortgage Lender continues to fund the project in accordance with the 77 Mortgage Agreement.  

In connection with the 77 Mortgage Loan Agreement, we entered into guarantees with the 77 Mortgage Lender pursuant to which we guaranteed the completion and payment of costs and expenses related to the construction; the payment of accrued and unpaid interest and other fees, costs, expenses and payments due and payable with respect to the 77 Mortgage Loan or 77 Greenwich; and the payment when due of all amounts due to 77 Mortgage Lender, as a result of “bad-boy” provisions. Mortgage Borrower and the Company also entered into an environmental compliance and indemnification undertaking for the benefit of 77 Mortgage Lender.

As of February 28, 2023, we had received TCOs for 100% of the residential condominium units, lobby, Cloud Club (lounge, terrace, game room, dining room, kitchen and kids play room), mechanical rooms, and portions of the cellar (including the bike and storage rooms.)  Our offering plan was declared effective in March 2021.  

As of September 30, 2023, the 77 Mortgage Loan had a balance of $100.5 million, which includes $6.7 million in PIK interest.  Through September 30, 2023, the 77 Mortgage loan was paid down by approximately $69.9 million through closed sales of residential condominium units.  

Mezzanine Loan

In December 2020, we entered into a mezzanine loan agreement with an affiliate of the CCF Lender (the “Mezzanine Loan Agreement”, and the loan thereunder, the “Mezzanine Loan”).  The Mezzanine Loan was originally for the amount of $7.5 million and has a term of three years with two one-year extension options, exercisable under certain circumstances. The collateral for the Mezzanine Loan was the borrower’s equity interest in its direct, wholly-owned subsidiary, which owns 100% of the equity interests in the borrower under the 77 Mortgage Loan. As of September 30, 2023, the annual blended interest rate for the 77 Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan was 12.08%.  Interest on the Mezzanine Loan is not payable on a monthly basis but instead is automatically added to the unpaid principal amount on a monthly basis (and therefore accrues interest) and is payable in full on the maturity date of the Mezzanine Loan. Upon final repayment of the Mezzanine Loan, a MOIC will be due on substantially the same terms as provided for in the CCF. The Mezzanine Loan

may not be prepaid prior to prepayment in full of the 77 Mortgage Loan, but if the 77 Mortgage Loan is being prepaid in full, the Mezzanine Loan may be prepaid simultaneously therewith. Subject to the prior sentence the Mezzanine Loan may be prepaid in whole or in part, without penalty or premium (other than payment of the MOIC amount, if applicable, as provided above), upon prior written notice to the lender under the Mezzanine Loan. In connection with the Mezzanine Loan, the Company entered into a completion guaranty, carry guaranty, equity funding guaranty, recourse guaranty and environmental indemnification undertaking substantially consistent with the Company’s existing guarantees made to the 77 Mortgage Lender in connection with the 77 Greenwich Mortgage Loan.

In October 2021, the Mezzanine Loan Agreement was amended and restated to, among other things, (i) increase the amount of the loan thereunder by approximately $22.77 million, of which $0.77 million reflects interest previously accrued under the original Mezzanine Loan, (ii) reflected the pledge of the equity interests in the Mortgage Borrower to the Mezzanine Lender as additional collateral for the Mezzanine Loan and (iii) conform certain of the covenants to those included in the 77 Mortgage Loan Agreement, as applicable. Additionally, the existing completion guaranty, carry guaranty, recourse guaranty and environmental indemnification executed in connection with the original Mezzanine Loan Agreement were amended to conform to the mortgage guarantees and mortgage environmental indemnity made in connection with the 77 Mortgage Loan (and the existing equity funding guaranty was terminated). In November 2022, we amended the Mezzanine Loan Agreement to, amongst other things, extend the Final Completion date to September 29, 2023 and eliminate the liquidity requirement. The Company is in active discussions with the 77 Mortgage Lender to amend the 77 Mortgage Loan, inclusive of an extension of the Final Completion date.  

In August 2023, the Company and its subsidiary borrower (the “Mezzanine Borrower”) entered into a forbearance agreement (the “Mezzanine Loan Forbearance Agreement”), pursuant to which the Mezzanine Lender agreed to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies during the Forbearance Period, as defined below, with respect to (i) the failure by the Mortgage Borrower, or the Mezzanine Borrower, to make payments under the Mortgage Loan Agreement or the Mezzanine Loan Agreement, respectively, including regular monthly interest payments and principal and interest due at maturity, and (ii) the failure by the Mortgage Borrower or the Mezzanine Borrower to achieve any Milestone Construction Hurdles, or satisfy the Quarterly Sales Hurdle, as such terms are defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement and Mezzanine Loan Agreement, respectively, or make the related prepayment as and when required (the “Mezzanine Forbearance Defaults”).

 

The Mezzanine Loan Forbearance Agreement provides that the period of forbearance (the “Forbearance Period”) ends on the earliest of (i) the consummation of a Strategic Transaction, (ii) an event of default other than the Mezzanine Forbearance Defaults, (iii) the failure of the Company to have entered into term sheets with respect to a Strategic Transaction by August 31, 2023 or to have consummated a Strategic Transaction by December 31, 2023, (iv) a representation made by the Company in the Mezzanine Forbearance Agreement shall fail to be correct in all material respects, (v) the filing of a complaint by the Mortgage Lender to foreclose a Mortgage, as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement, or a comparable exercise of remedy thereunder, or (vi) the Potential Strategic Party states in writing that it is no longer pursuing a transaction with the Company and is not replaced by a third party pursuing a substantially similar transaction within thirty days.

 

As of September 30, 2023, the Mezzanine Loan had a balance of $30.3 million and accrued interest totaled approximately $9.8 million.

237 11th Loans

In June 2021, we entered into a $50.0 million senior loan (the “237 11th Senior Loan”) provided by Natixis and a $10 million mezzanine loan (the “237 11th Mezz Loan” and together with the 237 11th Senior Loan, the “237 11th Loans”), provided by an affiliate of LibreMax Capital, LLC, (together the “237 11th Lenders”), bearing interest at a blended rate of 3.05% per annum at that time. Both loans had a two-year initial term subject to 1-year extension rights. The Company exercised its right to extend both loans by one year.

In June 2021, we also entered into an interest rate cap agreement as required under the 237 11th Loans. The interest rate cap agreement provided the right to receive cash if the reference interest rate rose above a contractual rate. We paid a premium of approximately $32,500 for the 2.5% interest rate cap on the 30-day LIBOR rate on a notional amount of $60.0 million. The interest rate cap matured in July 2023 and a new 2.5% interest rate cap was purchased for $1.76 million in connection with the exercise by the Company of a one year extension.  We did not designate this interest rate cap as a hedge and are recognizing the change in estimated fair value in interest expense.

In December 2022, we amended the 237 11th Loans to allow for the 237 11th Senior Loan lender to fund the undrawn operating expense shortfall holdback and force fund the undrawn portion of the leasing related costs and the loan benchmark was converted from LIBOR to SOFR. The Company determined that the 237 11th Mezz Loan is considered a troubled debt restructuring due to a decrease in the post restructuring effective interest rate. The Company determined that the 237 11th Loans were treated as modifications with no gain or loss recognized during the nine month period ended September 30, 2023 as the carrying amount of loans was not greater than the respective undiscounted cash flows of the modified loans.  

As of September 30, 2023, the blended interest rate was 5.35% per year. The SOFR-based floating rate 237 11th Loans have an initial term of two years and three one-year extension options. The first extension option, which was exercised in July 2023, was not subject to satisfaction of any financial tests, but required a new interest rate cap be purchased by the Company.  

The 237 11th Loans require us to comply with various customary affirmative and negative covenants and provide for certain events of default, the occurrence of which would permit the lender to declare the 237 11th Loans due and payable, among other remedies. The Company has obtained covenant waivers (Liquidity and Net Worth) from the 237 11th Lenders.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was an outstanding balance of $50.0 million on the 237 11th Senior Loan and $10.0 million on the 237 11th Mezz Loan.  

Secured Line of Credit

Our $11.75 million secured line of credit is secured by the Paramus, New Jersey property.  The Paramus property had been under contract for sale pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement, which was subject to site plan approval.  The agreement was terminated by the buyer in January 2023. The secured line of credit was scheduled to mature on May 22, 2023 and bore interest at the prime rate.  Effective with an April 2023 amendment, the maturity date was extended to March 22, 2024 and the interest rate was reduced to 2.5% during the period from April 2023 to the new maturity date.  The secured line of credit is pre-payable at any time without penalty. This secured line of credit had an outstanding balance of $11.75 million and $9.75 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and an effective interest rate of 2.5% and 7.5% as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.  The Company determined that the secured line of credit was considered a troubled debt restructuring due to a decrease in the post restructuring effective interest rate. The Company determined that the secured line of credit will be treated as a modification with no gain or loss recognized during the nine month period ended September 30, 2023 as the carrying amount of the loan was not greater than the respective undiscounted cash flows of the modified loan.

Note Payable (250 North 10th Partner Loan)

We owned a 10% interest in a joint venture with TF Cornerstone (the “250 North 10th JV”) formed to acquire and operate 250 North 10th, a 234-unit apartment building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York.  On January 15, 2020, the 250 North 10th JV closed on the acquisition of the property. Our share of the equity totaling approximately $5.9 million was funded through a loan (the “Partner Loan”) from our joint venture partner. The Partner Loan, which had a balance of $5.9 million, which was repaid in full when we sold our interest in the joint venture to our joint venture partner in February 2023, bore interest at 7.0% and was prepayable any time within its four year term.  See also Note 13 – Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.
