TAMPA, FL—Spirides Hotel Finance Company has successfully provided, and the borrower has officially closed a $6.3 million mortgage loan from a southeast U.S. headquartered bank to refinance the existing mortgage debt plus take $1.5 million cash out of the Holiday Inn Express in Latta, South Carolina. The $1.5 million cash taken out of the loan proceeds will be used by the borrower as an owner’s cash equity down payment to build another hotel in North Carolina where they already own the land.
This Holiday Inn Express features 68 guest rooms and suites in one 4-story building situated on 4 acres of land. It is located at 2513 Cattle Farm Road at SC Highway 38 just off of Interstate 95 Exit 181 near the City of Latta in Dillon County, SC, which is part of the Florence metropolitan area. Exit 181 is one of the primary exits off of Interstate 95 that leads to the very popular Myrtle Beach, SC resort area.
This Holiday Inn Express is located just a few minutes drive from the recently opened South Carolina Ports Authority’s Inland Port Dillon, a $50.5 million intermodal cargo transfer hub located 130 miles from the Port of Charleston, SC. Inland ports are where trains and trucks exchange tens of thousands of overseas shipping containers packed with consumer goods. Also located nearby are Darlington Raceway & Museum, McLeod Regional Hospital, Florence Civic Center, and the regional offices of Mohawk Industries, Johnson Controls, O’Rileys, Harbor Frieght, Wyman Gordon, Perdue, R.J. Corman Railroad, and South Carolina National Guard.
