Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) Headquarter Building
Blomfield designed build leaseback. Structured and arranged a $6,000,000 construction and permanent Credit Tennant Lease (CTL) transaction.
Background. FBI through GSA and a RFP asked for 42,000 square feet of office space on a ten year lease.
Challenge. Leased land owned by tribal government, short construction and permitting and design time frame ( nine months ), low budget, full service lease with operating risks. Secondary market.
Finance Solution. Blomfield arranged for and structured a twenty year bond issue rated by Standard and Poors, "A" rating stand alone without credit enhancements, on a full service lease. Negotiated in the RFP for two five year renewal options that where exercised prior to construction in exchange for a minor addition of enclosing two rooftop court yards. This loan was non-recourse, fully assumable, and the loan was 100% of project cost. Fast track planning allowed the project to be completed in eight month and sixteen days of winter construction and came in under budget.
