Extension executed with no principal paydown, removing near-term maturity risk while preserving capital
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (NYSE: HPP), an office REIT focused on top-tier real estate across high-barrier-to-entry West Coast gateway markets and preeminent studios in Los Angeles and New York, today announced that the company and its joint venture partner have extended the $1.1 billion CMBS loan secured by the Hollywood Media Portfolio. The extension moves the loan's maturity to November 9, 2027, with the stated interest rate unchanged and no principal paydown required at closing.
"This extension underscores our ability to execute a positive outcome for shareholders," said Harout Diramerian, Hudson Pacific’s CFO. "It provides us with additional time and flexibility to advance our leasing strategy across this portfolio, while proactively managing our broader debt maturity schedule."
The 2.2 million-square-foot Hollywood Media Portfolio includes three premier Hollywood studio lots, Sunset Gower Studios, Sunset Las Palmas Studios and Sunset Bronson Studios, along with five on-lot or adjacent Class A office properties, ICON, EPIC, Harlow, 6040 Sunset and CUE. The portfolio also includes rights to build another 1.1 million square feet of office and production space. Hudson Pacific owns a 51% interest in the portfolio through its joint venture and oversees day-to-day operations, leasing and development.
As part of the extension, the joint venture will reallocate partnership funds to a $20 million leasing reserve at closing. Excess cash flow from the portfolio will be swept to the reserve to fund on-going capital needs for the duration of the loan term. Hudson Pacific also entered into a derivative to swap SOFR at 3.50% through maturity. Reported interest expense will include fees and costs associated with the extension and derivative.
