NEW YORK, Dec. 10, 2024 -- Dolfin, a financial technology firm pioneering innovative tenant improvement financing solutions, has announced the successful completion of a $23 million tenant improvement (TI) lease for Applied Underwriters, Inc. The lease supports Applied Underwriters' investment in its state-of-the-art headquarters, located at the iconic Rockefeller Center in New York City.
This innovative financial solution enables Applied Underwriters to optimize their cutting-edge, multi-floor, 36,000+ square foot workspace, enhancing functionality and design while retaining capital for strategic opportunities.
The $23 million financing is structured as a fully-amortizing, 12-year, credit-based lease, reimbursing Applied Underwriters' entire TI investment in cash. The transparent and fixed-rate payment structure allows the company to bolster their core operations by converting a non-income-generating asset into cash on hand.
"Dolfin was a pleasure to work with. Their process was streamlined, resulting in a quick close. The Dolfin Lease allowed us to monetize 100% of the in-place leasehold improvements at our NYC headquarters and reinvest the proceeds in higher earning assets," said James Davenport, Chief Financial Officer, Applied Underwriters.
"Applied Underwriters was an ideal partner and a perfect example of the Dolfin TI Lease's wide-ranging capabilities. Our ability to refund capital already spent on tenant improvements creates opportunities for measurable growth and increased returns on investments," said Keely Ryder, Co-Founder of Dolfin.
Dolfin delivers unparalleled value to tenants with its revolutionary financing product. The Dolfin TI lease is a game-changer for businesses looking to fund tenant improvements while investing in world-class spaces.
