Paul Natalizio, president at Cornerstone, said, “The bustling market of Portsmouth and the attractive location of the development made this an exciting deal to take to market. Because of these factors, we were able to secure competitive financing for our client.”

Cornerstone was able to deliver an aggressive fixed rate structure with a 10-year term and a 3-year interest only period, followed by 30-year amortization.

Cornerstone also arranged $4.3 million in financing for the development of an emergency room facility in Seabrook, NH. The building will serve as a much-needed 10,820 s/f emergency care facility to the surrounding area. The facility is going to be operated by Portsmouth Regional Hospital, who are a privately-owned hospital which is part of Hospital Corp. of America.

Centrally located, the site benefits from 25,000 daily cars commuting on Rte. 1, and 18,000 cars passing at the neighborhood intersection of Rte. 107. The subject property allows for more immediate care to the surrounding area, which was not available before the subject property’s re-development.

Natalizio said, “The area is underserved for emergency care facilities, and this development provides the community with a chance to feel safer in the event of emergency – there is solace in that. With that as our driver, we were pleased to deliver strong financing rates for our client.”
