Cal-Bay Position Matures With Closing in Florida

An $8 million position for Cal-Bay looks to mature as one of the largest home builders closes escrow on a West Palm Beach, Florida property. First mortgage position was occupied by Cal-Bay.

Cal-Bay purchased the first mortgage position in late 2005, being aware of the contract with National Home Builder and Developer in regards to the 289 acre parcel of land in West Palm Beach, Florida.

The investors that had assisted in the capitalization of the project will see a return of almost $2 million, including interest. The proceeds will net the company about $6 million in all. The funds are to be used specifically for the development of existing properties and the acquisition of additional properties for the company.

The company�s current portfolio includes $22.5 million in properties and an equity position of more than $12 million.
