Real Estate Owned Real Estate Owned
Real Estate Owned, Held for Investment
As of June 30, 2023, assets and liabilities related to real estate owned, held for investment consisted of two properties: the D.C. Hotel, a full-service luxury hotel in Washington, D.C., and the Brooklyn Development, a multifamily development
property located in downtown Brooklyn, NY.
D.C. Hotel
In 2017, we originated a $20.0 million junior mezzanine loan which was subordinate to: (i) a $110.0 million mortgage loan, and (ii) a $24.5 million senior mezzanine loan, secured by the D.C. Hotel. During the first quarter of 2020, we recorded a $10.0 million Specific CECL Allowance and placed our junior mezzanine loan on non-accrual status.
On May 24, 2021, we purchased the $24.5 million senior mezzanine loan at par and acquired legal title to the hotel through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. We assumed the hotel’s assets and liabilities (including the $110.0 million mortgage loan) and recorded an additional $10.0 million charge reflecting the difference between the fair value of the hotel’s net assets and the carrying amount of the loan. This $10.0 million loss on title assumption plus the previously recorded Specific CECL Allowance of $10.0 million resulted in a $20.0 million realized loss on investments included within realized gain (loss) on investments in our 2021 consolidated statement of operations.
On May 24, 2021, in accordance with ASC 805, "Business Combinations" ("ASC 805"), we allocated the fair value of the hotel’s acquired assets and assumed debt. The non-recurring fair value measurement was classified as Level III within the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs. On June 29, 2021, we repaid the $110.0 million mortgage loan against the property. As of March 1, 2022, the hotel assets, comprised of land, building, furniture fixtures, and equipment, and accumulated depreciation (collectively "REO Fixed Assets"), and liabilities met the criteria to be classified as held for sale under ASC Topic 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment." Accordingly, as of March 1, 2022, we ceased recording depreciation on the building and furniture, fixtures, and equipment on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
As of March 1, 2023, due to current market conditions, we have curtailed active marketing efforts, and reclassified the REO Fixed Assets and liabilities from real estate owned, held for sale to real estate owned, held for investment, net in accordance with ASC Topic 360.
The REO Fixed Assets were reclassified to their carrying value before classifying as held for sale in March of 2022 and $4.0 million in depreciation, representing the amount that would have been recorded had the asset remained as held for investment, was recognized. All other assets and liabilities were reclassified to the corresponding line items on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. No realized gain or loss was recorded in connection with this reclassification.
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the value of net real estate assets related to the D.C. Hotel was $154.0 million and $155.9 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded net income from hotel operations of $5.7 million and $3.8 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded net income from hotel operations of $5.5 million and $4.2 million, respectively.
Brooklyn Development
In 2015, we originated a $122.2 million multifamily development commercial mortgage loan secured by an assemblage of properties in downtown Brooklyn, NY. In 2020, the loan went into default and we recorded a $30.0 million Specific CECL Allowance, due to the deterioration of market conditions attributable to COVID-19. As a result of improved market conditions we reversed $20 million of Specific CECL Allowance during the second quarter of 2021. In the second quarter of 2022, we reversed the remaining $10 million Specific CECL Allowance as a result of market rent growth and value created from development activities at the underlying property.
On August 3, 2022, we acquired legal title of the property through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure and accounted for the asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805. At that time, our amortized cost basis in the commercial mortgage loan was $226.5 million. We recorded the real estate assumed at a fair value of $270.1 million based on the market value of the land. We recognized a realized gain of $43.6 million, recorded within realized gain (loss) on investments on our consolidated statement of operations, which reflects the difference between the fair value of the property and the carrying value of the loan at the time of acquisition. The non-recurring fair value measurement was classified as Level III within the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs, including comparable sales of similar properties in the market. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we capitalized construction and financing costs of $15.2 million and $29.1 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our cost basis in the property was $331.8 million and $302.7 million, respectively.
Upon taking title, we concurrently contributed the property to a joint venture with a third-party real estate developer. The entity was deemed to be a VIE, of which we were determined to be the primary beneficiary. Through our wholly owned subsidiaries, we hold a 100% equity ownership interest in the joint venture and our partner is only entitled to profit upon achievement of certain returns under our joint venture agreement. Concurrently with taking title to the property, we obtained $164.8 million in construction financing on the property. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of the construction financing included within debt related to real estate owned, held for investment, net on our condensed consolidated
balance sheets was $160.9 million, net of $3.9 million in deferred financing costs and $160.3 million, net of $4.5 million in deferred financing costs, respectively.
The construction financing includes a maximum commitment of $388.4 million, an interest rate of term one-month SOFR+2.55%, and current maturity of August 2026, with an option to extend for one year, contingent upon meeting certain conditions. The construction financing agreement contains covenants requiring our unencumbered liquidity be greater than $100.0 million and our net worth be greater than $600.0 million. Under these covenants, our General CECL Allowance is added back to our net worth calculation. As of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we were in compliance with these covenants.
Real Estate Owned, Held for Sale
Atlanta Hotel
In March 2017, we originated a first mortgage secured by the Atlanta Hotel. During the second quarter of 2022, due to slower than expected recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, we deemed the borrower to be experiencing financial difficulty. Accordingly, we ceased accruing interest on the loan and recorded a $7.0 million Specific CECL Allowance.
During the fourth quarter of 2022, we wrote off the $7.0 million previously recorded Specific CECL Allowance and reduced the principal balance of the loan which was recorded as a realized loss within net realized loss on investments in our December 31, 2022 consolidated statement of operations.
On March 31, 2023, we acquired legal title of the Atlanta Hotel through a deed-in-lieu foreclosure and determined the fair value of net real estate assets to be $75.0 million in accordance with ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures." The fair value of the real estate owned is categorized within Level III of the fair value hierarchy set forth by ASC 820 and includes the use of significant unobservable inputs. See "Note 3 - Fair Value Disclosure" for discussion of our non-recurring fair value measurements. Additionally, we recognized a realized loss of $4.8 million, recorded within net realized loss on investments on our condensed consolidated statement of operations. The realized loss represents the difference between the original loan's amortized cost and the fair value of the net assets acquired.
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we received an unsolicited offer from a third party to purchase the Atlanta Hotel. We expect the sale to occur in the second half of the year ending December 31, 2023, after a diligence period. As of June 30, 2023, the hotel's assets and liabilities met the criteria to be classified as held for sale under ASC Topic 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment." As of June 30, 2023, we ceased recording depreciation on the building and furniture, fixtures, and equipment on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. In accordance with ASC Topic 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment", we have reclassified assets and liabilities from their respective condensed consolidated balance sheet line items to Assets related to real estate owned, held for sale and Liabilities related to real estate owned, held for sale.
As of June 30, 2023, the value of net real estate assets related to the Atlanta Hotel was $77.6 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 we recorded net income from the hotel's operations of $1.4 million
