JLL arranges $265M refinancing for master-planned beach resort in Southern California

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- JLL's Capital Markets group announced today that it has arranged a $265 million refinancing for a 387-key, master-planned beach resort in Oceanside in North County San Diego, California. The resort includes the 161-key Mission Pacific boutique hotel and The Seabird Resort, a 226-key full-service resort.

JLL represented the borrower, S.D. Malkin Properties, to secure the floating-rate, interest-only loan through ACORE Capital. The JLL team has been involved with the project since inception and arranged construction financing for the resort in 2018. Proceeds from this refinance were used to retire that construction facility, including a significant mezzanine loan. The new loan will provide cost savings, term and flexibility for the sponsor.

"The financing is a great validation of the bespoke hotels that have been created and Oceanside's rising 'cool factor'," said Jeremy Cohen, Senior Vice President of S.D. Malkin Properties.

"The Mission Pacific and The Seabird hotels are very high-quality assets in an up-and-coming market in Oceanside, California," added Kyle Jeffers, Senior Managing Director and Co-Head of Originations at ACORE Capital. "The S.D. Malkin Properties team is a world class sponsor, and we are honored to work with them and JLL on the financing."

Completed in May 2021, the adjacent world-class design-oriented hotels are located on a premier 2.75-acre, two-block site spanning 700 feet of beachfront real estate. Operated by Hyatt, both hotels offer ocean views, direct beach access, an entire ecosystem of food and beverage experiences, interior meeting and function space, two pools with views of the Pacific, and access to some of the best surfing on the California coast. The site also features the historic 1887 beach cottage featured in the Top Gun movie, which will open soon as a nostalgic dessert bar.

Mission Pacific and Seabird have easy access to the historic Oceanside Pier and downtown cultural attractions, such as the Oceanside Museum of Art and the California Surf Museum. They play an important role in continuing the transformation of downtown Oceanside into the iconic destination that it once was in the early 20^th century. The hotels are located four minutes from Interstate 5, connecting the properties with local and regional guests throughout San Diego, Orange, Riverside and Los Angeles counties. Amtrak's Surfliner and Metrolink with links to Los Angeles and Orange County are less than two blocks away.

The properties' beach front location is a significant barrier-to-entry given strict zoning constraints and the lack of entitled and developable oceanfront land in Southern California. The hotels are further bolstered by the strong lodging market fundamentals in San Diego. San Diego has continually proven to be a top-tier lodging market, supported by a diversified base of lodging demand from group business, leisure demand centered upon the world-renowned beaches, exclusive sporting venues and various theme parks and a well-established corporate base in the life science, technology and defense sectors.

The JLL Capital Markets team representing the borrower was led by Senior Managing Director Timothy Wright and Director Olga Walsh in coordination with the JLL Hotels & Hospitality team.

"We are very excited to have been a part of the capitalization on this iconic waterfront property, which is transforming North San Diego County and providing a valuable complement to the SoCal hospitality offering," said Wright.

"The capital markets responded well to the opportunity to finance this prime asset for a strong sponsorship group, which resulted in a competitive marketing process and ultimately favorable terms for our client," added Walsh.
