Financing for Cooperative Corporations

A residential cooperative is owned by a corporation whose shareholders hold proprietary leases to their units. The corporation carries an underlying mortgage on the whole building, separate from any share loans held by individual residents. We arrange and refinance these underlying loans for co-op boards and managing agents, underwriting the building’s maintenance income, reserves and physical condition. Terms are structured to protect the corporation’s cash flow and support long-term building operations.
