Thorofare Capital Funds $11.25M Loan for Acquisition of Historic Hotel in Los Angeles' Westwood Village

. April 27, 2017

LOS ANGELES, CA. April 27, 2017 - Thorofare Capital has provided West Hollywood, CA-based Shamina Investments with a $11.25 million floating-rate whole loan for its acquisition and renovation of the 53-room Claremont Hotel Westwood in Los Angeles' upscale Westwood neighborhood.

The Claremont is located at 1044 Tiverton Avenue in Westwood Village, an historic commercial, entertainment and shopping district adjacent to UCLA in West Los Angeles. The seller, a local family, has owned the property since they built it in 1939. It was the first and currently remains the oldest hotel in Westwood.

A portion of the loan proceeds will go towards an extensive renovation that will include upgrades to all guest rooms, common areas, lobby and exterior. When renovations are completed, Shamina Investments will re-open the hotel in February 2018 as the Palihotel Westwood under the Paligroup hotel flag. Paligroup currently manages and operates four daily and extended stay boutique properties in the Los Angeles area.

The five-year, non-recourse loan was priced at a competitive spread over the 30-day LIBOR and includes structure for reserves to cover renovation costs, debt service and operating deficits prior to stabilization, according to Thorofare Capital Principal Felix Gutnikov who originated the financing.

Paligroup is a fully integrated branded real estate development and hospitality operating company that acquires, programs, develops, owns, and operates unique hotels and residences. Its proprietary brands, development and operational expertise also includes specialized retail spaces, highly curated restaurants, bars and event venues.

The loan was arranged by the New York City office of Mission Capital Advisors LLC.
