As of December 31, 2023, 46 apartment communities were not encumbered by mortgages and were available to provide credit support for the unsecured borrowings. The Company’s primary unsecured credit facility (the “Unsecured Credit Facility”) is a revolving, multi-bank line of credit, with Bank of Montreal serving as administrative agent. The line of credit has total commitments and borrowing capacity of $250.0 million, based on the value of unencumbered properties. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had additional borrowing availability of $220.0 million beyond the $30.0 million drawn, priced at an interest rate of 7.82%. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had additional borrowing availability of $136.5 million beyond the $113.5 million drawn, priced at an interest rate of 5.61%. This Unsecured Credit Facility was amended on September 30, 2021 to extend the maturity date to September 2025 and to provide an accordion option to increase borrowing capacity up to $400.0 million.
On May 31, 2023, the Unsecured Credit Facility was amended to replace the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as the benchmark alternative reference rate under the Facility. The interest rates on the line of credit are based on the consolidated leverage ratio, at the Company’s option, on either the lender’s base rate plus a margin, ranging from 25-80 basis points, or daily or term SOFR, plus a margin that ranges from 125-180 basis points with the consolidated leverage ratio described under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended. Prior to the amendment, interest rates on the line of credit were based on the consolidated leverage ratio applying the same margins to LIBOR. The Unsecured Credit Facility and unsecured senior notes are subject to customary financial covenants and limitations. The Company believes that it was in compliance with all such financial covenants and limitations as of December 31, 2023.
Centerspace also has a $6.0 million operating line of credit. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there was no outstanding balance on this line of credit. This operating line of credit is designed to enhance treasury management activities and more effectively manage cash balances. This operating line matures on September 30, 2024, with pricing based on SOFR.
Centerspace has a private shelf agreement with PGIM, Inc., an affiliate of Prudential Financial, Inc., and certain affiliates of PGIM, Inc. (collectively, “PGIM”) under which the Company has issued $200.0 million in unsecured senior promissory notes (“unsecured senior notes”). The Company also has a separate note purchase agreement for the issuance of $125.0 million senior unsecured promissory notes, of which $25.0 million was issued under the private shelf agreement with PGIM. The following table shows the notes issued under both agreements as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

In November 2022, the Company entered into a $100.0 million term loan agreement (“Term Loan”) with PNC Bank, National Association as administrative agent. The interest rate on the Term Loan was based on SOFR, plus a margin that ranged from 120 to 175 basis points based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The Term Loan had a 364-day term with an option for an additional 364-day term. As of December 31, 2023, the Term Loan was paid in full. As of December 31, 2022, the Term Loan had a balance of $100.0 million.
Centerspace has a $198.9 million Fannie Mae Credit Facility Agreement (“FMCF”). The FMCF is secured by mortgages on 12 apartment communities.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the FMCF had a balance of $198.9 million. The FMCF is included within mortgages payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of December 31, 2023, Centerspace owned 14 apartment communities that served as collateral for mortgage loans, in addition to the apartment communities secured by the FMCF.
