Jeffer Mangels Butler & Marmaro LLP

JMBM Closes Loan On $140 Million Luxury Condominium Tower
Jeffer, Mangels, Butler & Marmaro LLP (JMBM), one of California’s foremost full-service law firms, today announced that its Global Hospitality Group® has closed the senior debt portion of the capital stack for its client, HSBC, on the new Wilshire Carlyle luxury condominium tower at 10776 Wilshire Boulevard. Projected to cost $330 million, the 24-story, 78-unit crescent-shaped tower is said to be possibly the last high-rise permitted on theWilshire corridor.

"This is a bold debut into California real estate for the Elad Group," said JMBM attorney Guy Maisnik, lead counsel specializing in hospitality and high-end condominium mixed-use transactions. "The financing that was structured for this project had to take into account the nature and scope of such a first-class project with a cornerstone place in this market. With JMBM's experience in the luxury condominium market, and a lending institution with the vision of HSBC, the Elad Group now has the essential resources to become a strong bi-coastal presence."

Developed by New York-based Elad Group, high-end developers that are already well-established on the East Coast, this intricate financial transaction required a comprehensive understanding of standards unique to luxury residential properties of the caliber that are now being constructed. Drawing on practical experience and resources that the Global Hospitality Group® has developed in advising clients on more than 100 mixed-use projects over the past five years alone, the JMBM hospitality team, led by Maisnik, was able to successfully complete the deal.

"The Wilshire Carlyle is going to include the highest quality of amenities and services," said Maisnik, who also served as lead counsel for HSH Nordbank AG loan transaction for the $800 million W Hotel hotel mixed-use development at the legendary intersection of Hollywood and Vine. "The location is in one of Los Angeles' most coveted areas, the "Golden Mile," where there is almost no more land to build."

Included in the $140 million deal is the land, the site excavation and the tower design, which calls for condos ranging in size from 2,500 to 3500 square feet. The purchase is the latest in the Elad Group's expansion westward, having recently acquired the 34.5-acre site for the New Frontier hotel and casino on the Las Vegas Strip. The company currently has properties in New York, including the Plaza Hotel, now being renovated, as well as in Chicago, Dallas, Florida and Canada.
