Fiscal Note
This resolution would authorize a $13,317,000 loan to 25 West Main, LLC ("Developer") for the redevelopment of property located at 126 South Carroll and subterranean lands located beneath the City right of way at Carroll Street connecting to 25 West Main. The site would be included in a new proposed TID #45 (Capitol Square West). A boundary and Project Plan is required to be adopted in 2015 by the Common Council and approved by the TIF Joint Review Board.
The Project consists of approximately 186,000 square feet of office, approximately 100 apartment units, 43,000 gross square feet of commercial and retail space, 2,400 square feet of storage and approximately 548 parking stalls ("Project"). This loan would be repaid through incremental taxes generated by the Project and represents approximately 71% of the present value of all incremental taxes anticipated from the Project throughout the 27-year life of proposed TID #45.

Such certification is anticipated during the first quarter of 2016. Upon the City’s receipt of such DOR certification, the City will disburse the balance of the TIF Loan in 2016.

The City portion of such taxes is estimated at approximately $700,000 per year. Developer shall be obligated to repay all funds disbursed by the City as a conventional loan, amortized over ten years, together with the costs of issuance and interest on the unpaid principal balance at a rate equal to the rate of the City’s borrowing, ...
