The Company’s primary unsecured credit facility (the “Unsecured Credit Facility” or “Facility”) is a revolving, multi-bank line of credit, with Bank of Montreal serving as administrative agent. In May 2025, the Company exercised the accordion feature of the Facility, expanding the borrowing capacity by $150.0 million to $400.0 million. Prior to the exercise of the accordion feature, the line of credit had total commitments and borrowing capacity of up to $250.0 million, based on the value of unencumbered properties. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had additional borrowing availability of $246.0 million beyond the $154.0 million drawn under the Facility, priced at an interest rate of 5.12%. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had additional borrowing availability of $206.0 million beyond the $44.0 million drawn under the Facility, priced at an interest rate of 5.81%. This Facility matures in July 2028, with an option to extend maturity for up to two additional six-month periods.
The Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) is the benchmark alternative reference rate under the Facility. As amended, the interest rates on the line of credit are based on the consolidated leverage ratio, at the Company’s option, on either the lender’s base rate plus a margin, ranging from 20-80 basis points, or daily or term SOFR, plus a margin that ranges from 120-180 basis points with the consolidated leverage ratio described under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended.
Centerspace has an operating line of credit agreement with US Bank, N.A. which has a borrowing capacity of up to $10.0 million and pricing based on SOFR. This operating line of credit terminates in September 2026 and is designed to enhance treasury management activities and more effectively manage cash balances. As of December 31, 2025 there was $925,000 outstanding on this line of credit, priced at an interest rate of 5.91%, compared to $3.4 million outstanding as of December 31, 2024, priced at an interest rate of 6.56%.
Centerspace has a private shelf agreement with PGIM, Inc., an affiliate of Prudential Financial, Inc., and certain affiliates of PGIM, Inc. (collectively, “PGIM”) under which the Company had issued $175.0 million in unsecured senior promissory notes (“Unsecured Shelf Notes”). On October 28, 2024, the shelf agreement was amended to extend the period of time during which the Company may borrow money to October 2027 and to increase the borrowing capacity to $300.0 million. The Company issued $125.0 million of senior unsecured promissory notes (“Unsecured Club Notes”, and, collectively with the Unsecured Shelf Notes, the “unsecured senior notes”) under a separate private note purchase agreement with PGIM and certain other lenders.
