DesRochers of NorthMarq arranges $5.6 million mortgage
Ernest DesRochers, senior vice president and managing director of NorthMarq's New York City Metro office, arranged a construction and permanent loan of $5.6 million for the construction of a 13,000 s/f free-standing retail property located in Unionville, Connecticut. The property is fully leased to Walgreens. Financing was based on up to a two year construction period and permanent loan of up to 10 years. Amortization is based on a 30-year schedule after conversion to a permanent loan. The loan was arranged by NorthMarq through its relationship with a regional bank.
"This construction loan is for a long-time client of NorthMarq's," DesRochers said. "The property is located in an established in-fill commercial area with excellent surrounding demographics. The site represents a new store for the tenant and one of several that has been developed for the tenant by the borrower."

While power outages are often blamed on storms, they can also be caused by unforeseen events like accidents or construction mishaps. While it’s impossible to prevent disasters and power outages entirely, proactive preparation can significantly minimize their impact on your commercial building.
