Beach Retreat & Lodge, South Lake Tahoe, CA

IRVINE, CA, July 30, 2015 – Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced today that it has secured a $13.33 million refinancing for the Beach Retreat & Lodge, a 262-room, lakefront, boutique resort hotel located in South Lake Tahoe, California.

Chip Sykes

HFF worked on behalf of the borrower’s sponsor, Urbana Realty Advisors, to secure the three-year, floating-rate loan through CapitalSource, a division of Pacific Western Bank.  Loan proceeds will be used to refinance existing debt and provide funds for additional minor capital improvements. 

Beach Retreat & Lodge consists of five buildings and features 500 linear feet of beach front on Lake Tahoe, the largest alpine lake in the U.S. 

The hotel has an outdoor heated pool, 24-hour fitness center, outdoor games and activities, full-sized beach volleyball court and The Beach Club with cabanas, lounge chairs and menu service on the beach. 

Guests have two dining options, The Tavern at Tahoe and The Boathouse, which is located on the longest pier in Lake Tahoe.  Additionally, through an on-site marine operator, guests can rent boats, jet skis and kayaks. 

Renovated in 2012 through 2014, the hotel has completed upgrades to guest rooms, the lobby and restaurant space; constructed an outdoor fire pit and patio area; and completed the Beach Retreat Conference Center, which has in excess of 4,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space with on-site catering and state-of-the-art technology. 

James Fowler
Situated on seven acres at 3411 South Lake Tahoe Boulevard, the hotel is approximately four miles from Lake Tahoe Airport and is 189 miles east of San Francisco and 35 miles west of Reno, Nevada.

The HFF debt placement team representing the borrower was led by managing director James Fowler and director Chip Sykes.

“Urbana had completed a significant amount of the property renovation when we were asked to procure debt financing,” Fowler said.  “As a result, the property is already seeing the benefit, with strong bookings through the early summer months.  These two factors, along with a great lender in CapitalSource, helped facilitate a smooth execution.”

Apartment Development Along the Atlanta BeltLine Continues to Boom


Ryan Gravel
ATLANTA, GA (July 30, 2015) — The Atlanta BeltLine, the brainchild of Georgia Tech graduate Ryan Gravel, is an ambitious project that aims to connect the core of the city with walkable, bike-friendly paths and eventually public transportation. 

The Eastside Trail connecting Piedmont Park and Krog Street Market opened in 2012, and since then a myriad of multifamily residences have sprung up along the BeltLine, transforming the Midtown, Old Fourth Ward, and Inman Park neighborhoods.

The Atlanta Apartment Association has created a timeline outlining the construction and opening of these properties, as well as the progress the Atlanta BeltLine has made and plans to make in the future. 

It tells the story of how an old rail corridor turned car-free path can bring life to neighborhoods and foster the growth of restaurants, retail, art, and cultural events in the space, thus making it a popular place for renters.

Jim Fowler
It’s no secret that apartments along the BeltLine are highly desirable in the Atlanta market,” said Jim Fowler, President of the Atlanta Apartment Association. “The influx of multifamily development in this area is astounding and will only continue to grow as the BeltLine blossoms over the next several decades.”

By 2030, the 22-mile Beltline loop with paved path and streetcar options will be completed, fostering multifamily growth in a vast array of intown Atlanta neighborhoods.
