Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In September 2015, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) entered into a $31 million USD bridge loan agreement with AMI Real Estate — Los Angeles-incorporated and headquartered private real estate firm — for Universal Lofts 2015 Refinancing Project. The loan carried a maturity period of three years. The debt facility was to be used to refinance existing debt for a 67-unit office and condominium creative space, Universal Lofts, located near Universal City in Los Angeles, California. AMI had been looking to sell the property since August 2014 and succeeded in selling it in March 2018.
