Another great example of:
If the bank loans you a billion dollars… it’s their problem, not yours!
Really, congrats to Scott for working this out amidst all the hate.
In connection with the initial close on our continuation vehicle, S2 completed a series of loan modifications and refinancings across 26 multifamily assets representing approximately $1.2 billion of loan balance. The transactions cover 8,223 units across seven markets. Of the 26 communities, 12 were subject to foreclosure proceedings that have been terminated in connection with the modifications.
The transactions include the modification of a 531-unit community in North Dallas. The modification waives existing defaults, including a maturity default, terminates a pending foreclosure posting, and extends the maturity to July 2031. It was completed in consideration of a principal paydown. The lawsuit filed against me personally in connection with that loan has been dismissed.
This was a long, complex process. I’m grateful to everyone involved for working with us toward a full portfolio resolution so we can turn our attention to execution on-site, in what remains a difficult environment for fundamentals. My biggest takeaway is simple: show up, work hard, and do the right thing every time. None of this happens unless our lenders and partners believe we’re the right stewards for these assets, and for that I’m grateful to a wonderful team.
