TSB Capital Advisors has arranged financing on behalf of affiliates of Landmark Properties and Goldman Sachs & Co. for The Mark Athens, a recently completed student-oriented community adjacent to the University of Georgia campus in Athens.Â
Timing of the non-recourse loan benefited the property’s sponsorship. “The financing was unique in that it closed at construction completion but before students or commercial tenants moved in for the fall semester, allowing the borrower to replace construction and mezzanine financing with attractive non-recourse, floating-rate financing,” explained TSB’s Timothy Bradley in a statement.
Located at 275 Oconee St., the property is near a variety of attractions, such as North Oconee River Park West, Latin American Ethnobotanical Garden, Sanford Stadium and Georgia Theatre.
