February Tourist Tax Collections in Orange County, FL 29% Down from 2008 Month

ORLANDO, FLORIDA -- County Comptroller Martha Haynie (top right photo) announced that resort tax collections received by the County in March for the hotel collection month of February 2009 were $11,849,700.

Resort taxes are charged on short-term rentals, mostly hotels and motels.

Comptroller Haynie noted that February 2009 collections were 29 percent lower than February 2008.

“There is no way to put a positive spin on these numbers, Haynie says.

"They reflect the continuing economic slump, and underscore the stress being felt by families here and across the country.

" The County’s TDT cash reserves are in place to protect our bondholders and the convention center itself, but it may be even longer than expected before there is any extra revenue available for newer projects."

Banker Says SBA 504 Loan Program for Small Business is Best-Kept Secret in Commercial Lending

ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. - For Christopher Hurn, (top right photo) CEO of Mercantile CapitalCorporation in Altamonte Springs, one thing is clear: the U.S. SmallBusiness Administration's 504 loan program for small business owners is thebest-kept secret in commercial lending today.

Hurn recently returned from Dallas, where he was the keynote speaker at theSBA's 5th Annual 504 Lenders Conference, which drew more than 175 majorlenders from across the southwest.

"Bankers don't like to talk about the SBA 504 program, even though it's such a powerful resource for small business owners," Hurn said.

"The loans are a bit more cumbersome to execute, but banks make less money on them than they do on traditional financing programs," Hurn said.
The SBA 504 loan program is a powerful economic resource for borrowers, forlenders and for the national economy, Hurn told the group.

"From the lender's perspective, from the borrower's perspective and from the national economy perspective, the SBA 504 lending program is reducing costs, generating jobs and making small businesses more productive, while creating wealth for business owners," Hurn said

.SBA 504 loans offer small business owners up to 90 percent financing at substantially reduced rates to develop, acquire, and remodel commercial facilities.

Mercantile Capital Corporation, formerly Mercantile Commercial Capital,ranks as one of the most active providers of SBA 504 loans in the nation.

HFF secures $22.1M refinancing with Freddie Mac for southern California multifamily community

NEW YORK, NY, April 2, 2009 – The New York office of HFF (Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P.) announced today that it has secured a $22.1 million refinancing with Freddie Mac for Fairway Palms Apartments, (top right photo) a 236-unit multifamily community in Rancho Cucamonga, California.

Working on behalf of institutional investors advised by J. P. Morgan Asset Management - Global Real Assets, HFF senior managing director Whit Wilcox (top left photo) placed the seven-year, adjustable-rate loan with the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac).

Loan proceeds are paying off a maturing loan that the borrower had with a portfolio lender. HFF has closed more than $100 million in financing through Freddie Mac in 2009.

Fairway Palms Apartments is located at 11201 5th Street, less than one mile from the Interstate 10 and 15 freeways and approximately 40 miles east of downtown Los Angeles in Rancho Cucamonga.

Completed in 2002, the 94% leased property has one-, two- and three-bedroom units that average 928 square feet each.

Residents of Fairway Palms have access to a swimming pool, fitness center and clubhouse and may also use the amenities at the adjacent Ironwood Apartments, which is also owned by the borrower.

"Even in the most challenging credit market environment, superior properties will attract capital at favorable levels. Fairway Palms enjoys strong operating performance and best of class sponsorship. Through all of the travails that have plagued global credit markets and derailed economic growth, Freddie Mac has remained an unshakable pillar of capital to the multifamily sector,” said Wilcox.

Jacoby Development and Suniva Make Solar Commitment to Aerotropolis Atlanta

Two Georgia Companies Aim to Create “Green Collar” Jobs

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In a major partnership agreement signed this week, Jacoby Development, Inc., developer of smart growth and sustainable development national model Atlantic Station, and Suniva, a Norcross based manufacturer of high efficiency solar cells, will collaborate on incorporating solar technology into Aerotropolis Atlanta, the redevelopment of the former Hapeville Ford Plant adjacent to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

The initial phase of the partnership includes the planned installation of up to 10 MW of solar power in the main parking structure of the redevelopment.

“Partnering with Suniva at Aerotropolis Atlanta promises to deliver environmental sustainability and economic development by bringing a Georgia company to the table with us,” said Jim Jacoby, (top right photo) Chairman and CEO of Jacoby Development Inc.

Aerotropolis Atlanta, a 6.5-million-square-foot, 130 acre mixed-use redevelopment will be an aviation-intensive business district expected to include office, retail, restaurant, hotel and airport parking.

And Suniva has been widely recognized, most recently in Governor Sonny Perdue’s (bottom right photo) State-of-the-State address, as a stand out company in the renewable energy sector – bringing new technology and green jobs to Georgia.

“Building a new commercial center to attract jobs to the site of a former automotive plant is a great example of how American business reinvents itself, bringing new life and new opportunity to the community through innovation and hard work,” said Suniva CEO John Baumstark.(top left photo)

While the partnership between Jacoby Development and Suniva will begin with Aerotropolis Atlanta’s parking structure, both companies say they are investigating more opportunities to work together at this site and other projects.

Mercantile Capital Corp. claims commercial property mortgage lending activity now approaching historic levels for leading Orlando-area firms

ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. --- Commercial property mortgage lending activity is now approaching historic highs for Mercantile Capital Corporation, which specializes in U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) 504 loans for small business owners who want to acquire or develop their own facilities.

Christopher Hurn, (top right photo) chief executive officer of Mercantile Capital Corporation, said the six-year old company is seeing as many loan proposals as it did during its peak in mid-2007.

“We attribute the increase in deal flow to stimulus plan anticipation,” Hurn explained.

“I think the small business community is shaking off the doom and gloom attitude and starting to take a more practical approach to severely discounted commercial property assets that represent enormous opportunities for business owners,” he said.

“The Obama administration is doing some things to help the small business community, and we think leading small business owners are starting to act on the situation,” Hurn said.

“Lower commercial property values and near historic lows in financing rates won’t last much more than the next eighteen months. Innovative entrepreneurs within the small business community have a tendency to be leading indicators in my opinion, so we’re starting to see a shift,” Hurn said.

Hurn said Mercantile Capital Corporation’s increase in lending activity is also attributed to the fact that few lenders are actually lending these days.

“The financial crisis has never been one of cost of capital, it’s been an issue of access to capital,” Hurn said.

“We think the universe of owner-user commercial property deals has shrunk, but we’re getting a much larger share of the fewer deals that are out there.

"The creditworthiness of our deals is increasing -- only the strongest and healthiest transactions are getting done these days -- and deals that would have ordinarily gone to a large regional bank are now coming to us,” Hurn said.
