Key Takeaways
SL Green and PGIM closed a $1.4B, five-year, fixed-rate refinancing of 11 Madison Avenue.
The new loan replaces prior debt with a hedged coupon rate of 5.592% for SL Green's portion.
93% leased, the 30-story office tower features top tenants and is home to Eleven Madison Park.
SL Green Realty Corp. (SLG - Free Report) , with its joint venture partner, PGIM, recently announced completion of a $1.4 billion, five-year, fixed-rate refinancing of 11 Madison Avenue.
The new mortgage carries a coupon rate of 5.625%, which SL Green hedged to an effective rate of 5.592% for its portion. It serves as a replacement for the previous $1.4 billion of debt on the property, which was comprised of a $1.075 billion senior mortgage and two mezzanine loans totaling $325 million.
11 Madison Avenue is a 30-story, 2.3 million-square-foot office tower located between Park Avenue South and Madison Avenue, adjacent to Madison Square Park. Its surroundings offer access to many restaurants and upscale shopping. With a prestigious tenant roster, it has been currently 93% occupied. The office tower also houses the famous 3-Michelin-Star restaurant, Eleven Madison Park.
The CMBS financing was led by Wells Fargo Bank, with participation from leading global financial institutions including J.P. Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank and Bank of Montreal.
Conclusion
This refinancing offers SL Green enhanced financial flexibility. Extended maturities of the assumed debt will help the company improve its maturity profile and enjoy greater liquidity for day-to-day operations.
The company is well-poised for growth, given tenants’ solid demand for premier office spaces with class-apart amenities. With supply pressures easing and people returning to offices, SLG is witnessing healthy leasing activity.
Over the past six months, shares of this Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) company have gained 3.4% against the industry’s decline of 0.6%.
