The Challenge

The property’s slow lease-up put the owner on a collision course with a construction loan maturity and an unmet debt-service-coverage covenant, risking default. The eventual buyer’s shown equity — a Morgan Stanley account presented during diligence — later turned out not to be fully available, and the deal fell out of contract three separate times.

The Solution

Greysteel built a data-driven narrative for the owner’s construction lender, modeling a conservative path to stabilization with no rent growth credited for 18 months and minimal credit for largely unleased retail space, giving the lender a credible basis to work with rather than an optimistic pitch. On the buyer side, the team kept both parties engaged through repeated setbacks rather than walking away after the first failed close.

Results

• $47,150,000 sale price on a distressed, still-leasing-up 247-unit asset
• Construction lender engaged directly with a data-backed stabilization narrative, avoiding default consequences for the owner
• Deal survived falling out of contract three times before ultimately closing
• Demonstrated sustained relationship management across both a distressed seller and an underfunded buyer

“Greysteel developed a strategy to help the owner and lender navigate the asset’s challenges, creating a competitive marketing process that secured Conserve Holdings as the buyer. Despite the deal falling out of contract three times and facing significant financing hurdles, the team kept all parties aligned and successfully guided the transaction to closing through disciplined negotiation and relationship management.” — Jimmy Poole, Greysteel Lead Deal Contact, Carolinas Multifamily Team
