FDIC Signature Bridge Bank Sells 5% Equity in $5.8B Rent-Stabilized Multifamily Loans
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has announced the completion of a transaction in which Signature Bridge Bank has sold a five percent equity interest in entities holding $5.8 billion of rent-stabilized and rent-controlled multifamily loans. This move is part of the FDIC’s efforts to maximize the availability and affordability of residential real property for low- and moderate-income individuals.
Signature Bridge Bank, N.A. (FDIC-Receiver), recently completed two transactions following the failure of Signature Bridge Bank. The FDIC-Receiver established two new ventures and sold a five percent equity interest in each venture to Community Preservation Corporation (CPC), a nonprofit multifamily finance company founded in 1974. The FDIC-Receiver retained a 95 percent equity interest in each venture.
These newly formed ventures will be responsible for managing, servicing, and liquidating the loans collateralized by rent-stabilized or rent-controlled multifamily properties. The financial and physical preservation of the underlying collateral is a key requirement outlined in the terms of each transaction.
The FDIC-Receiver engaged with various stakeholders, including New York City and New York State housing authorities, government agencies, and community-based organizations to ensure a collaborative approach in the marketing and disposition strategy. The bidding process for the five percent equity interest in each venture was conducted on a competitive basis, with a due diligence period for qualified parties.
Sig-23 Private Owner LLC and Sig-23 II Private Owner (entities indirectly controlled by CPC) acquired the equity interest in the ventures for $129 million and $42 million, respectively. Each transaction established a newly formed entity wholly owned by the FDIC-Receiver.
The FDIC-Receiver expects to announce further results for the rent-stabilized or rent-controlled multifamily loan portfolio transactions in the near future.
