WINTHROP PARK DEVELOPMENT Harvard Case Solution & Analysis

WINTHROP PARK DEVELOPMENT Case Study Solution  

  • Cambridge Savings Bank

Peter went to the Cambridge Savings Bank, which was building its own building nearby, for a loan because he knew the bank was excited about underwriting a noticeable project in its own neighborhood, especially in a large and admiring local market.

Peter had approached the Massachusetts Carpenters' Pension Fund to cover the $5.8 million BaMc of Boston loan. Palandjian requested a $7.9 million boost to replace their previous loan.The 57.8 million will encourage Nth to fulfil Palandjian's promise to construct the Holy Cross Armenian Catholic Church, cover much of their predevelopment expenses, and return some money to their investors. The Palandjian hoped that by securing the Carpenters' pledge, the Carpenters' Fund would turn this loan into a building facility at a low cost of capital, which will overshadow the rumor that Intercontinental would be pressured to hire union carpenters.

Peter's father's previous projects, though largely union, had been "free shop" inventions for decades, so this formal obligation was unprecedented.Unfortunately, the Carpenter's Pension Fund agreed on decreasing the total leverage allocation for its committed funds (for internal financial reasons) that summer & was unwilling to offer a fresh pledge to fund the building.

Indirect players

The indirect players of this projects are two regional banks from whom Peter has took the loan amounting to $5 million. These regional banks are: Pioneer and Wainwright bank
