Investors jump for Calaveras County: DLR has closed on two land-secured refundings for Saddle Creek, a golf community in the Sierra Nevadas. The Sales and Trading Desk found buyers who understood the developer’s long-term strategy.  •  Palmdale controls energy destiny: DLR was sole Senior Manager on federally taxable Certificates of Participation so the city could acquire 600 acres for a 550-megawatt power plant to attract and retain businesses.  •  Infrastructure keeps Chowchilla growing: DLR senior-managed a special bond for critical infrastructure improvement until development impact fees can be raised to support $93 million in residential, commercial and industrial projects.  •  Pittsburg fares well in crowded financial market: DLR was Senior Manager on a tax-allocation bond that raised almost $100 million for housing and other projects, and saved the city’s Redevelopment Agency another $3.5 million by refinancing earlier bonds.  •  Projected value packs a punch: DLR senior-managed a tax-allocation bond after Chula Vista demonstrated that the future assessed value of the city’s Bayfront-Town Centre offsets a highly concentrated tax base.  •  Pooled financing for Los Angeles: As book-running Senior Manager, DLR structured a $34.5-million pooled financing for the city’s Community Redevelopment Agency without a yield spread to adhere to the CRA policy to complete separation between project areas.  •  Lightening the debt load: DLR senior-managed refunding of all outstanding debt at Ontario Airport, increasing the L.A. Department of Airports’ flexibility to define net revenues and its debt-service reserve fund – and reaffirm its “A” rating.
