The Clift Building is a 105,000 square foot, nine story, historic multi-tenant office building originally constructed in 1920. The property is situated in an “A” class location in downtown Salt Lake City on the corner of 300 South and Main Street.

The property was purchased by a local commercial real estate investment group with experience in acquiring and renovating other office projects in the area. The new ownership plans to maintain the historic exterior façade of the property while spending approximately $5.3 million to modernize the mechanical systems and renovate the interior floor plates to build out creative office space that is conducive to attracting creative/technology tenants.

The $13 million loan secured by Tower Capital represented 70% of total project cost and 121% of purchase price and incorporated capital for capital improvements, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, and working capital. The loan was closed within three weeks of a signed term sheet with the lender.
