CHARLOTTE, NC: Waterstone Defeasance recently closed a defeasance transaction for a $8.7 million CMBS loan, secured by a hotel property in Beaumont, Texas. Waterstone guided the owners through the defeasance process coinciding with the owners’ sale of their property.

As the defeasance consultant, Waterstone managed the activities of the numerous parties involved with the transaction in order to meet the borrower’s closing schedule. Parties associated with a defeasance transaction typically include the servicer, servicer’s counsel, borrower, borrower’s counsel, securities broker, custodian, accountant, rating agencies, and the successor borrower.

“The borrower is working to restructure his portfolio, choosing to sell the Hilton Garden Inn in Beaumont.  The transaction moved along smoothly and closed as expected.  We look forward to working with the client again.”- Carol Tillman, COO with Waterstone Defeasance
