editor Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 With the demise of K-Arts (KRTS/Seabrook 92.1), has anyone heard what's to become of their nice building on Montrose Boulevard? I know Radio One has or is planning to move the operations of what is now KROI into Greenway Plaza. http://www.houstonarchitecture.info/Images/Buildings/Montrose/KRTSBuilding-001.jpg http://www.houstonarchitecture.info/Images/Buildings/Montrose/KRTSBuilding-003.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozark has become a pretty big player in major real estate deals in NYC so I think they wanted to sound more global than rural Arkansas.

The law firm on the second floor of the building had purchased the building back in 2016 from Jim Crane. There was a financial services company on the first floor that had an existing lease, so maybe their lease was finally up? Or maybe the law firm sold the building, I haven’t spoken with anyone from there in several months. I’ll try to gather some intel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 No one has handed out more U.S. construction loans over the past year and a half than a midsized bank in Little Rock, Arkansas. In fact, no entity is even close. Bank OZK handed out more than $3B in real estate construction loans in 2023, while its closest competition, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo, each originated less than $2B, according to MSCI. As most banks are pulling back from the real estate sector, Bank OZK is leaning in — it followed up last year's dominance with another $688M in construction debt in the first quarter. “We're getting a much larger share of the pie right now, but it's just a smaller pie,” Bank OZK CEO George Gleason told Bisnow in an interview this week. The 121-year-old financial institution sits in a unique position in commercial real estate lending, spending decades of economic and real estate cycles building its lending arm into a linchpin of development financing. Its construction lending business totaled $12B in outstanding loans at the end of the first quarter, 44% of its total real estate balance sheet. But while construction loans are often seen as some of the riskiest debt instruments in commercial real estate, especially amid a banking crisis centered around CRE debt, Bank OZK's gambles always seem to pay off. https://www.bisnow.com/national/news/capital-markets/how-bank-ozk-came-to-dominate-construction-lending-124299 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
