OakNorth Provides $25.1m Note-on-note Facility to Mavik Capital to Finance the Conversion of Vacant Hotel in Syracuse, New York Into Multifamily Property
OakNorth, the digital bank for entrepreneurs, by entrepreneurs, has provided an $25.1m note-on-note facility to New York-based next-generation, multi-strategy investment firm, Mavik Capital.
Founded by CEO and CIO, Vik Uppal, the firm primarily focuses on identifying middle-market real estate opportunities across the U.S. Operating across three core verticals, including special situations, traditional lending and credit solutions, and insurance, the firm has successfully deployed over $3b in capital via more than 110 investments, since inception.
The $25.1m note-on-note facility from OakNorth will be used to convert the vacant 20-storey Crowne Plaza hotel in Syracuse into a new multifamily property. Consisting of 287 studio apartments, the building will offer numerous amenities, including a community kitchen, dining, lounge and co-working areas, games room, wellness and fitness hub and business center. Located half a mile from Syracuse University and SUNY Upstate Medical University, the site will also include a restaurant and convenience store on the ground floor, as well as 229 car parking spaces.
The transaction follows OakNorth’s authorization in August from the Federal Reserve and the New York State Department of Financial Services for a Representative Office in New York.
Mike Fishbein, Managing Director of Mavik, commented: “At Mavik, we are focused on crafting solutions and building creative structures that seek to maximize returns while strongly mitigating risk. At our core, we are driven by a commitment to outperform. OakNorth is an important partner to Mavik on this transaction.”
Dylan Jagjivan, Associate Director of Debt Finance at OakNorth, added: “We were delighted to support Mavik on its latest investment. Its highly experienced management team, in addition to the site’s proximity to two major universities and the overall shortfall of high-quality accommodation in the region, are key factors in our confidence. Note-on-note facilities enable OakNorth to access a wider variety of clients which we might not have access to typically, and we look forward to completing more of these loans going forward.”
