LOUISVILLE, KY – Iron Hound Management Company, LLC, a real estate investment company specializing in commercial debt and equity transactions and commercial loan restructuring, completed the restructuring of the $9.5 million mezzanine debt on 400 W. Market Street in Louisville, Kentucky on behalf of sponsors Mark Karasick and Victor Gerstein. The mezzanine loan modification will subordinate a portion of the debt to the sponsor’s new equity, extend the loan term and reduce the interest rate on the loan.

“Iron Hound’s expertise and guidance was invaluable in helping us restructure the mezzanine debt on 400 W. Market Street,” said Mark Karasick, President of 601W Companies.”
Iron Hound, which recently expanded its reach on the brokerage side to include loan debt and equity placement, was the advisor on another Louisville property in 2011; the loan assumption of the PNC Corporate Plaza..
