As of December 31, 2024, 45 apartment communities were not encumbered by mortgages and were available to provide credit support for the unsecured borrowings. The Company’s primary unsecured credit facility (the “Unsecured Credit Facility” or “Facility”) is a revolving, multi-bank line of credit, with Bank of Montreal serving as administrative agent. The line of credit has total commitments and borrowing capacity of $250.0 million, based on the value of unencumbered properties. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had additional borrowing availability of $206.0 million beyond the $44.0 million drawn, priced at an interest rate of 5.81%. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had additional borrowing availability of $220.0 million beyond the $30.0 million drawn, priced at an interest rate of 7.82%. On July 26, 2024, the Unsecured Credit Facility was amended to extend maturity and to modify the leverage-based margin ratios applicable to borrowings. As amended, this credit facility matures in July 2028, with an option to extend maturity for up to two additional six-month periods, and has an accordion option to increase borrowing capacity up to $400.0 million.
The Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) is the benchmark alternative reference rate under the Facility. As amended, the interest rates on the line of credit are based on the consolidated leverage ratio, at the Company’s option, on either the lender’s base rate plus a margin, ranging from 20-80 basis points, or daily or term SOFR, plus a margin that ranges from 120-180 basis points with the consolidated leverage ratio described under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended. The Unsecured Credit Facility and unsecured senior notes are subject to customary financial covenants and limitations. The Company believes that it was in compliance with all such financial covenants and limitations as of December 31, 2024.
In September 2024, Centerspace entered into an operating line of credit agreement with US Bank, N.A. which has a borrowing capacity of up to $10.0 million and pricing based on SOFR. This operating line of credit terminates in September 2025 and is designed to enhance treasury management activities and more effectively manage cash balances. As of December 31, 2024 there was $3.4 million outstanding on this line of credit. Centerspace had a $6.0 million operating line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. with pricing based on SOFR that matured on August 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, there was no outstanding balance on this line of credit.
Centerspace had a private shelf agreement with PGIM, Inc., an affiliate of Prudential Financial, Inc., and certain affiliates of PGIM, Inc. (collectively, “PGIM”) under which the Company had issued $175.0 million in unsecured senior promissory notes (“Unsecured Shelf Notes”). On October 28, 2024, the shelf agreement was amended to extend the period of time during which the Company may borrow money to October 2027 and to increase the borrowing capacity to $300.0 million.The Company also has a separate private note purchase agreement with PGIM and certain other lenders for the issuance of $125.0 million of senior unsecured promissory notes (“Unsecured Club Notes”, and, collectively with the Unsecured Shelf Notes, the “unsecured senior notes”), of which all $125.0 million was issued in September 2021.
