Located within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area on the northern end of the iconic bridge, the 142-key facility offers 25,000 square feet of indor and outdoor meeting space, the Healing Arts Center & Spa that totals 11,000 square feet, a retail outlet, a fitness center, and a cooking school. Cavallo Point occupies a 45-acre lot on the premises of the former Fort Bake military base.

The financing arranged by Sonnenblick Eichner is a non-recourse, five-year balance sheet, LIBOR-based loan. According to Principal Elliot Eichner, the borrower selected a floating-rate balance sheet loan that would allow for a higher degree of flexibility.
