Southbourne Group places $1.26m loan for purchase of 639 Tremont St.

Southbourne Group recently placed $1.26 million in first lien permanent/construction financing for the purchase of 639 Tremont St. located in the South End. The property consists of one commercial and four residential units. "The owner of Nicole's Pizza has been on Tremont St. for over a decade and the opportunity to purchase the property presented itself. It was a prudent business decision to make and why not be in total control of your business so to speak," said Dan Pieper of the Southbourne Group. "The 10 year loan term was able to be structured with one loan closing. It's easier for all parties involved and less costly to the borrower," said Pieper. "I remember when the only restaurant on Tremont St. was the St. Cloud. Today the South End restaurants and retail shops are close by for the community and a great destination for the surrounding neighborhoods to enjoy all types of ethnic foods, entertainment and services," said Pieper.

New zoning is a big topic for many communities. Whether it is to comply with the 2021 MBTA legislation calling for more multi-family housing in locales with access to T stations or to address other pressures from public-private entities, zoning for multi-family housing is believed to be a major part of the solution to the housing crisis.
