IV.3. Loan Agreement - Ovation Apartments (HRA2022-05)September 6, 2022 HRA Report 2022-05
LOAN AGREEMENT – OVATION APARTMENTS
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve the Loan Agreement
between Ovation Apartments, LLC and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of the City
of Hopkins.
With this motion, the Loan Agreement will be executed.
Overview
Ovation Apartments, also known as Enclave Companies has proposed a redevelopment of the
former Hopkins Cinema 6 into a mixed-use housing and retail development. Due to the costs
of land acquisition, demolition, site preparation and construction, the redevelopment is not
financially feasible without public assistance. City goals are met by the proposed development
and the City Council/HRA have indicated a willingness to provide financial assistance in order
to realize the project.
The Agreement commits the Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) to a one-time
forgivable loan utilizing excess TIF from District 2-11 in the maximum amount of $1,250,000.
The forgivable loan will be utilized as follows: $750,000 for demolition, $350,000 for exterior
improvements to the existing retail building and $150,000 for outdoor public space. If actual
costs are less overall, the forgivable loan will be reduced dollar for dollar.
At closing, the developer agrees to execute a Note and mortgage to be recorded against the
property.
Primary Issues to Consider
The project is contingent upon a successful rezoning and approvals of a PUD Agreement,
Business Subsidy Agreement and Parking Agreement.

exercise of any other power, right, or remedy.
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED AND RECITED that all conditions, acts, and things required to
exist, happen, and be performed precedent to or in the issuance of this Note do exist, have happened,

Mortgagee prior to acceleration shall mail notice to Mortgagor specifying: (1) the event of
default; (2) the action required to cure such event; (3) the date, not less than 30 days from the date
the notice is mailed to Mortgagor, by which date such default must be cured; and (4) that failure
to cure such default on or before the date specified in the notice may result in acceleration of the
sums secured by this Mortgage and sale of the Property. The notice shall further inform Mortgagor
of the right to reinstate after acceleration and the right to bring a court action to assert the
nonexistence of a default or any other defense of Mortgagor to acceleration and sale. If the default
is not cured on or before the date specified in the notice (subject to the cure rights set forth below),
Mortgagee at Mortgagee’s option, may declare all of the sums secured by this Mortgage to be
immediately due and payable without further demand and may invoke the power of sale hereby
granted and any other remedy permitted by applicable law. Any one of the following events shall
constitute and Event of Default:
i. Mortgagor fails to pay any amounts due under the Note when said payment
is due, and such default shall continue for ten (10) days after notice from the City; and
ii. Mortgagor violates or fails to perform any of the other terms, covenants or
conditions of this Mortgage and such default shall continue for thirty (30) days after notice
from the Mortgagee, unless such default cannot be cured in the exercise of reasonable
diligence within said thirty (30) day period, in which event Mortgagor shall be allowed
such additional time as is needed to cure such default with all due diligence.
If requested by Borrower in writing, the HRA will agree to subordinate this Agreement,
the Note and the Mortgage to any Senior Debt (as defined in the Agreement”).
Notwithstanding Mortgagee’s acceleration of the sums secured by this Mortgage,
Mortgagor shall have the right to have any proceedings begun by Mortgagee to enforce this
Mortgage discontinued at any time prior to the earlier of (i) sale of the Property pursuant to the
power of sale contained in this Mortgage or (ii) a judgment enforcing this Mortgage, if: (a)
Mortgagor pays Mortgagee all sums constituting the default actually existing under this Mortgage
and the Note at the commencement of foreclosure proceedings under this Mortgage; (b) Mortgagor
cures all breaches of any other covenants or agreements of Mortgagor contained in this Mortgage;
(c) Mortgagor pays all reasonable expenses incurred by Mortgagee in enforcing the covenants and
agreements of Mortgagor contained in this Mortgage and in enforcing Mortgagee’s remedies as
provided herein, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and (d) Mortgagor takes
such action as Mortgagee may reasonably require to assure that the lien of this Mortgage,
Mortgagee’s interest in the Property and Mortgagor’s obligation to pay the sums secured by this
Mortgage shall continue unimpaired. Upon such payment and cure by Mortgagor, this Mortgage
and the obligations secured hereby shall remain in full force and effect as if no acceleration had
occurred.
