Talonvest Negotiates $10 Million Loan for Orange County Industrial Parks
June 6, 2022 – GlobeNewswire
Commercial real estate advisory firm Talonvest Capital, Inc. is proud to announce the recent closing of a $10,000,000 permanent loan for a private owner / operator of industrial real estate assets in Southern California. The non-recourse loan was secured by a single-tenant industrial building in Santa Ana, CA and a multi-tenant property in Huntington Beach, CA. Together the properties total 85,930 net rentable square feet. Both assets offer convenient access to state and local freeways, dense populations, and low unemployment rates which continue to fuel tenant demand in Orange County, one of the hottest industrial markets in the country boasting strong rents and low vacancy rates driven by deep demand and low inventory.
The loan was funded by a national credit union and featured a seven-year term, interest-only payments for the full term, no repayment guaranty, and an early rate lock at application which resulted in a very attractive 4.105% interest rate in today’s dynamic rate environment. The borrower’s CEO commented, “I couldn’t speak more highly of the support and counsel the Talonvest team provided in the end-to-end process, from sourcing a great loan through a competitive process all the way to post-close tidy-up. I don’t think we would have gotten the deal done without their expertise and hard work.” The Talonvest team responsible for this assignment included David DiRienzo, Tom Sherlock, Kim Bishop, Ivan Viramontes, and Thalia Tovar.
How Will Rising Interest Rates Impact Self-Storage Operators?
May 31, 2022 – The Storage Beat
What comes down, must go up.
Earlier this month, the Federal Reserve raised the benchmark interest rate by half a percentage point, the largest increase since the year 2000, as it seeks to tamp down rising inflation.
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said that “additional 50-basis-point increases should be on the table” over the next couple of Fed meetings.
What implications does a higher rate environment have for the self-storage industry?
To find out, the Storage Beat reached out to Tom Sherlock, co-founder of Talonvest Capital. Irvine, CA-based Talonvest is a capital advisory firm with expertise serving self-storage clients. Sherlock cofounded Talonvest in 2010 and has well over $10 billion worth of commercial real estate financings under his belt. He is also an adjunct professor at UC-Irvine, where he teaches the capstone real estate class for MBA students.

May 18, 2022 – Commercial Observer
1784 Capital Holdings, a national self-storage developer and owner, has received $24.9 million in financing to develop Annapolis Self Storage, a 71,360-square-foot building in Annapolis, Md.
The property will consist of 751 climate-controlled self-storage rental units.
ACRES Capital, a nationwide commercial real estate middle-market lender, originated the loan with Talonvest Capital.

Storage Developers, Buyers Face Volatile Lending Market
March 31, 2022 – SSA Blog
Talonvest Director – Business Development David DiRienzo shares insights about storage lending in an unpredictable market.
Interest rates have begun an expected steep climb this year as the Federal Reserve moves to get inflation under control. Self storage developers could be among the first to feel the pinch with variable-rate construction loans moving during a robust period for construction. Buyers who rely on debt to make self storage investments will also see the cost of the transaction go up, which could influence the price they are willing to pay.
David DiRienzo, director of business development for Talonvest Capital, said in a rising rate environment, borrowers can use tools such as interest rate caps or swap transactions as a hedge against interest rate risk on floating rate construction and bridge loans. “Interest rate caps are like buying an insurance policy where the borrower pays a premium to protect them from rising rates,” DiRienzo said.
