Real Estate Owned
On February 8, 2021, we acquired legal title to a portfolio of seven limited service hotels located in New York, NY through a foreclosure and assumed the securitized senior mortgage. As of December 31, 2024, we determined that our hotel portfolio had met the held-for-sale criteria and, accordingly, we reflected this asset as real estate owned held-for-sale on our consolidated balance sheet. Concurrent with this classification, we recognized an $80.5 million loss based upon the anticipated sales price, less estimated costs to sell. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we continued to pursue the sale of this asset and, as of June 30, 2025, it remains classified as held-for-sale. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we incurred $362,000 of capital expenditures at our hotel portfolio, which is reflected as an additional loss on real estate owned held-for-sale on our consolidated statement of operations. As of June 30, 2025, approximately $9.4 million of our restricted cash, $7.5 million of our other assets, $10.0 million of our other liabilities, and $235.0 million of our debt related to real estate owned hotel portfolio relate to this real estate owned assets. We have determined this anticipated sale does not reflect a strategic shift and therefore does not qualify for presentation as a discontinued operation.
On June 30, 2023, we acquired legal title to a mixed-use property located in New York, NY and the equity interests in the borrower through an assignment-in-lieu of foreclosure and is comprised of office, retail, and signage components. As of June 30, 2025, the mixed-use property appears as part of real estate owned, net and related lease intangibles appear within other assets and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. In April 2025, we entered into a binding agreement to sell five floors of primarily office space to an unaffiliated purchaser for a gross sales price of $28.8 million. This sale occurred in June 2025 and resulted in a loss on sale of $1.6 million and proceeds, net of transaction costs and prorations, of $26.8 million.
On May 28, 2025, we acquired legal title to a multifamily property located in Phoenix, AZ through a mortgage foreclosure. Prior to such date, the multifamily property represented the underlying collateral for a senior loan with an unpaid principal balance of $50.2 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the borrower defaulted on the loan and, in anticipation of the mortgage foreclosure, we recognized a specific CECL reserve of $7.2 million, resulting in a carrying value of $42.8 million. Upon the mortgage foreclosure, we recognized a reversal of the specific CECL reserve of $0.3 million prior to recognizing a principal charge-off of $6.9 million based upon the multifamily property’s $42.8 million estimated fair value as determined by a third-party appraisal and assumption of $0.3 million of net working capital. The fair value was determined using a market capitalization rate of 5.25%. In connection with the mortgage foreclosure, we incurred $0.1 million of transaction costs. As of June 30, 2025, the multifamily property appears as part of real estate owned, net and related lease intangibles appear within other assets on our consolidated balance sheet.

Asset Management
Our Manager proactively manages the loans in our portfolio from closing to final repayment or resolution and our Sponsor has dedicated asset management employees who perform asset management services. Following the closing of an investment, the asset management team rigorously monitors the loan, with an emphasis on ongoing analyses of both quantitative and qualitative matters, including financial, legal, and market conditions. Through the final repayment or resolution of a loan, the asset management team maintains regular contact with borrowers, servicers and local market experts monitoring performance of the collateral, anticipating borrower, property and market issues, and enforcing our rights and remedies when appropriate.
Some of our borrowers may experience delays in the execution of their business plans, changes in their capital position and available liquidity and/or changes in market conditions which may impact the performance of the underlying collateral asset, borrower, or sponsor. As a transitional lender, we may from time to time execute loan modifications with borrowers when and if appropriate, which may include additional equity contributions from them, repurposing of reserves, pledges of additional collateral or other forms of credit support, additional guarantees, temporary deferrals of interest or principal, partial deferral of coupon interest as payment-in-kind interest, and/or a discounted loan payoff. To the extent warranted by ongoing conditions specific to our borrowers or overall market conditions, we may make additional modifications when and if appropriate, depending on the business plans, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations of our borrowers, among other factors.
