Newport Beach, Calif.-based Talonvest Capital has arranged $48 million in refinancing for a six-property self storage real estate portfolio owned by BRB Development, a family-owned company with nearly 50 years of experience developing high-end self storage facilities, the firm announced June 10.

The transaction features a seven-year term, non-recourse structure, full-term interest-only payments, an early rate lock, and a 12-month open prepayment window. Talonvest said it negotiated more than $500,000 in interest savings over the life of the loan on behalf of the borrower.

Portfolio Spans Five States, Nearly 500,000 Square Feet

The six-property portfolio totals 5,006 self storage units, two retail units, and 497,185 net rentable square feet. The assets are located across Florida, New Jersey, Minnesota, Connecticut, and Illinois. According to Talonvest, the portfolio's markets include high-growth Florida markets, commuter-oriented Northeast suburbs, and established Midwest communities with strong economic bases and access to major metropolitan areas.

Specific property addresses, asset names, occupancy rates, and valuations were not disclosed. Loan-to-value figures were not provided.

Life Company Provides Balance-Sheet Execution

The financing was provided by a life company, which was not identified by name. The loan's full-term interest-only structure means no principal amortization is required over the seven-year term. The 12-month open prepayment window allows the borrower to sell or recapitalize assets without penalty during that period.

Rick Heilscher, Managing Partner of BRB Development, commented on the transaction. "Talonvest delivered a competitive financing process that secured attractive terms and valuable rate certainty in a volatile market, allowing us to stay focused on executing our business plan and creating long-term value," Heilscher said.

The Talonvest team on the transaction included Eric Snyder, Tyler Mergler, Carson Kurland, Mason Brusseau, and Lauren Maehler.
