Months ago, Brookfield bought $675 million in loans from Veritas. These loans were for 1,700 apartments in San Francisco. Now, something important has happened for the people who invested in these loans. This deal made Brookfield the biggest apartment owner in San Francisco.
$40 million is being given to investors who took more risks with these loans. They’re called bondholders. This is good news for them. Academy Securities reported this. But there’s still more money, $164 million, that hasn’t been paid out yet.
This deal was complicated. The loans were put into different groups, called tranches, based on how risky they were.
Some tranches got paid back fully in January. But others, like the C and D groups, had to wait. Now, they’re getting some of their money, though not all of it. There’s still $60 million that hasn’t been given out.
What It Means for San Francisco
This whole situation changes who owns a lot of apartments in San Francisco. Brookfield bought these loans at a big discount.
It shows that San Francisco’s real estate market can be unpredictable. Even though some money was lost, it’s not as much as people thought.
This shows that even in tough times, there’s still hope for recovering money from bad investments.
What Happens Next
This is important for the people who invested in these loans, especially those who took bigger risks. They’re getting some money back, but they’re still talking about the rest. For San Francisco, having Brookfield as a major landlord could change things.
This deal might affect how much rent people pay and how apartments are managed. And other cities might learn from how this deal was handled.
