Closed: February 01, 2021

Funded: 16.4%


Developer Name
LANDEX DEVELOPMENT LLC

Project Description

Artists  Row  (also  known  as  Studio  3807  and  The  Artisan)  will  be  a  mixed-use  community located  in  the  Washington,  DC  metropolitan  area.  The  two buildings  are  being  developed  as part  of a Public-Private  Partnership  (PPP)  between  the government  of  Prince  George’s County,  Maryland and Landex Development,  LLC  (Landex), a  well-capitalized,  30  year  old real   estate   development   company   that   specializes   in   public-private   partnerships (the “Developer”). Landex was selected by the government through a competitive process, over other development  companies  because  of  its  experience,  capitalization, and  commitment  to  strong community partnerships.

Artists  Row  will  be  a  multi-phased  development.  Phase  1  (Studio  3807)  is  located at  3807 Rhode  Island Avenue  in  Brentwood,  Maryland  in  the  center  of the Gateway  Arts  District. The site preparation work for Studio 3807 began in September 2016, and the vertical construction is underway and progressing according to plan. When completed, Studio 3807 will consist of the following:

  • 147 apartment units
  • 193 garage parking spaces
  • Approximately 6000 square feet of retail space
  • Approximately 3000 square feet of artisan space

Phase 2 (The Artisan) is located at 4100 Rhode Island Avenue and is scheduled to start in the 2nd quarter of 2017.

The Artisan will consist of the following:

  • 84 apartment units
  • 137 parking spaces (covered and surface parking)
  • Approximately 5000 square feet of retail space

These  two  properties  will  be  the  first  new  developments  in  the Gateway  Arts  District.  The Gateway Arts District is adjacent to Washington, DC and encompasses the four communities of Hyattsville,  North  Brentwood,  Brentwood  and  Mt.  Ranier.  Gateway  is  a  central  point  for  art activities  of  all  types  and has  quickly become  a  popular  site  for  socializing,  entertainment, dining,  shopping,  and  living.  The  renaissance  of  the  Gateway  Arts  District  signals  a  dynamic growth  for Prince  George’s  County  and  the  surrounding  area,  which  offers  much  beauty  and function  to  its  current  and  new  residents. Artists  Row will build  on  the growth  of  the  area  by creating a new, unique opportunity for an artisan and residential experience. The artisan lifestyle and environment that is already present will be enhanced by these two developments

UPDATE- FEBRUARY 2019

Phase I of the Artists Row Project, known as Studio 3807, was substantially completed in Q4 2018 as schedule, and is currently in rent up. The lead development partner, The Landex Organization, reports that rent up and absorption of the retail, commercial and residential units is ahead of schedule.

Phase II of Artists Row, known as The Artisan, began construction as planned in Q2 2018, and is progressing on schedule. Financing for both phases is beeing provided through a combination of developer cash equity, including cash contributions from Prince Georges County, a JV partner in the project, together with conventional construction loan financing and bridge loans being provided by a regional commercial bank.

EB-5 loan proceeds being provided by Capitol Area Regional Center's CARc Job Fund-The Artists Row Project Loan Series, LLC, will be used to repay a portion of the bridge loans. Global Capital Markets Advisors, as manager of the CARc Job Funds, is continuing to accept new subscriptions for this USCIS pre-approved project from accredited EB-5 investors. Inquiries should be directed to either Michael Sears (msears@gcmafunds.com) or Michael Kolodner (mkolodner@gcmafunds.com). 

 

The project is EXEMPLAR APPROVED.

Project Timeline

The Project developer, Landex Development, has already secured first mortgage and bridge loan financing sufficient to fully fund Phase 1 of the Artists Row Project which, based on the independent econometric analysis of projected new job creation, can support new EB-5 visa petitions aggregating up to $18,000,000 for as many as 36 EB-5 investors. Phase 2 of the Project is projected to create additional jobs sufficient to support at least an additional 15 EB-5 investor petitions. Construction of Phase 1 of the Artists Row Project, at 3807 Rhode Island Avenue, began in September 2016, is progressing according to plan, and is expected to be substantially completed in Q1 2018. Phase 2 of the Project, located at 4100 Rhode Island Avenue, is expected to be similarly financed, is scheduled to begin construction in June 2017 and be substantially complete by Q4 2018.

On what premise are those projections made?
Loan from CARc Job Fund- The Artists Row Project Loan Series LLC (the "Fund") to developer of the Artists Row Project bears interest @ 5.0% P.A. Interest payable quarterly in advance from developer funded interest reserve held in segregated account of the Fund. Initial Loan closing occurred 2/17/2017. Phase 1 construction began Q3 2016. Phase 1 fully financed with equity from developer and Prince George's County, Eagle Bank 1st mortgage loan and bridge financing. Phase 2 construction expected, subject to completion of construction financing, to begin Q2 2017.

If Yes, when are they paid?
Annually
Can you describe in more detail how returns are paid, and under what conditions? For instance, are they only paid if the project is positive cash flow or profitable. What expenses must be accounted for and paid prior to distributions are paid to investors?
The Fund is investing in the Artists Row Project Loan, the advances on which accrue interest at 5.0% P.A. with principal due and payable upon maturity (2/14/2022). Upon the initial and each subsequent Loan advance, the developer is required to fund an interest reserve sufficient to pay interest on the outstanding balance of the Loan through the 4th anniversary of the initial Loan closing (dated as of 2/14/17) and thereafter, as necessary, to maintain the interest reserve in an amount sufficient to pay interest through maturity of the Loan. The Fund is entitled under the Loan Agreement to transfer from the interest reserve, quarterly in advance, the amount equal to the full amount of the quarterly interest on the outstanding Loan balance thereafter accruing. The Interest income received by the Fund will first be used to pay Fund Expenses, as defined in the Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of the Fund, which include the fees and disbursements of the independent Fund Administrator, fees incurred by the Fund, if any, for legal, tax and accounting services, the Management Fee payable to the Manager of the Fund (@.5% quarterly), and other permissible Fund Expenses. Class A Members of the Fund, including all EB-5 Investor Members, are thereafter entitled to a 2.0% P.A. preferred return, payable from the realized income of the Fund net of such Fund Expenses, plus 60% of the income, if any, remaining after such payment (or provision for payment) of Fund Expenses and the 2.0% preferred return, and prior to the payment of any return to the Class B Member. The Class B Member of the Fund is an affiliate of the Fund Manager and is entitled to 40% of such income, if any, remaining after such payment (or provision for payment) of Fund Expenses and the 2.0% preferred return earned by the Class A Members of the Fund. The Fund expects to make distributions to its Members at least annually. The amount of Fund income available to make any such distributions is primarily dependent upon the size of the Fund and the amount of the Loan investments made by the Fund, which will vary as a result of the number of EB-5 investors in the Fund, particularly during the first three years.
Can you please describe the expected exit strategy and what source(s) of debt or equity are expected to be used to repay the investor’s capital investment?
The Loan from the Fund is expected to be repaid from the proceeds of the refinancing of the Artists Row Project by the developer, which is anticipated to occur sometime between 3 and 5 years, after the rent-up period and stabilization of the Project. The Loan is not prepayable prior to maturity by the developer. The original maturity date of the Loan is 2/14/2022, but is subject to extension, at the option of the developer upon 90 days prior notice to the Fund and the payment to the Fund of an extension fee and the replenishment of the interest reserve through the extended maturity date, twice for successive 1-year extension periods.
Can you please describe the procedure for allowing the investor to sell his interest in the investment and who the buyer might be?
EB-5 investors are required to maintain their investment in at least the amount of the Minimum EB-5 Capital Requirement ($500,000), through the 5th anniversary of their investment. However, a Class A Member in the Fund who is no longer an EB-5 Member may notify the Fund and request that their Class A Units in the Fund be redeemed by the Fund on the first available date thereafter in accordance with the redemption provisions of the Fund. Any such redemption requests will be processed on a first come, first served, basis and will be subject to the availability of Available Cash and the other restrictions and conditions specified in the Operating Agreement of the Fund.
What is the expected term of the investment?
5 Years
Can you describe what procedures are in place If the investor needs to liquidate his position before the contracted maturity date of the agreement, and what penalties may be imposed?
See above procedure for requesting early redemption of Class A Units.
How is the value of the investment, once the investment has been made, measured?
In accordance with the Operating Agreement of the Fund, the Manager is responsible to determine annually the amount of Class A Fund Equity. Each Class A Member of the Fund will own Class A Units in the Fund equal to $100 per Class A Unit, or fractional portion thereof. For example, each Class A Member who is an EB-5 Investor will have a Capital Account in the Fund that will initially be credited with 5,000 Units ( $500,000 Capital Contribution divided by $100/Class A Unit). Thereafter, the number of Class A Units in a Member's' Capital Account in the Fund will increase or decrease to reflect his or her allocable share of the Fund's subsequent Net Income or Loss.
Have these strategies been used by the Regional Center principals, or project managers in the past and what was the outcome?
Yes. Since inception. This is the same fund valuation structure that has been used by one of the principal owners of the Regional Center for many years in private real estate funds managed by such principal as a registered investment advisor. It is the same methodology in the basic limited liability company operating agreement of CARc Job Fund-I LLC, which has been approved by USCIS multiple times since its inception.
Have all of the permits and permissions for project development been obtained?
Yes
Is there any patented intellectual property essential to this project?
No
