(&#8220;NorthStar Income II&#8221;), through subsidiaries of its operating partnership, completed the acquisition (the &#8220;Acquisition&#8221;) of a Class B+ office and flex business center and an adjacent Class A office building (the &#8220;Properties&#8221;) for a total initial cost of $130.6 million. NorthStar Income II acquired the Properties through a joint venture (the &#8220;Joint Venture&#8221;) with Steelwave, LLC (&#8220;Steelwave&#8221;), a vertically integrated real estate investment manager, owner and operator. NorthStar Income II owns a 95% interest in the Joint Venture, which acquired the Properties from Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America, an unaffiliated third party. In connection with the Acquisition, NorthStar Income II invested approximately $45.7 million of equity, including closing costs, with proceeds from its ongoing initial public offering.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Properties total 717,702 square feet and are located in Bothell, Washington, in close proximity to major highways with convenient access to regional demand drivers, including corporate headquarters and other major commercial operations. As of June 30, 2015, the Properties were 73% leased to 70 tenants, with a remaining weighted average lease term of 4.2 years. The Joint Venture plans to invest approximately $14.9 million in capital and tenant improvements to the Properties, including lobbies, corridors and conference rooms. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Pursuant to the limited liability company agreement of the Joint Venture (the &#8220;JV Agreement&#8221;), NorthStar Income II is the manager and controls the Joint Venture&#8217;s business and affairs, subject to Steelwave&#8217;s consent with respect to certain major decisions. Steelwave will manage the day-to-day operations of the Properties.  The JV Agreement also contains customary terms and conditions, including distributions on a pro rata basis subject to certain performance thresholds and certain forced sale and other liquidity provisions.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In connection with the Acquisition, the Joint Venture, through a subsidiary (the &#8220;Borrower&#8221;), obtained senior debt financing with an initial term of three years and a principal amount of approximately $82.5 million, with up to an additional $14.9 million of future funding commitments (the &#8220;Senior Borrowing&#8221;). The Senior Borrowing bears a floating interest rate of 1.9% over the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate and contains standard representations, warranties and covenants contained in transactions of this type. Although recourse for repayment of the Senior Borrowing is generally limited to the Borrower&#8217;s assets, Steelwave provided a &#8220;non-recourse carveout&#8221; guaranty relating to certain obligations of the Borrower under the loan agreement and related documentation.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On August 20, 2015, NorthStar Real Estate Income II, Inc. ("NorthStar Income II"), through subsidiaries of its operating partnership, completed the acquisition (the "Acquisition") of a Class B+ office and flex business center and an adjacent Class A office building (the "Properties") for a total initial cost of $130.6 million. NorthStar Income II acquired the Properties through a joint venture (the "Joint Venture") with Steelwave, LLC ("Steelwave"), a vertically integrated real estate investment manager, owner and operator. NorthStar Income II owns a 95% interest in the Joint Venture, which acquired the Properties from Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America, an unaffiliated third party. In connection with the Acquisition, NorthStar Income II invested approximately $45.7 million of equity, including closing costs, with proceeds from its ongoing initial public offering.
The Properties total 717,702 square feet and are located in Bothell, Washington, in close proximity to major highways with convenient access to regional demand drivers, including corporate headquarters and other major commercial operations. As of June 30, 2015, the Properties were 73% leased to 70 tenants, with a remaining weighted average lease term of 4.2 years. The Joint Venture plans to invest approximately $14.9 million in capital and tenant improvements to the Properties, including lobbies, corridors and conference rooms.
Pursuant to the limited liability company agreement of the Joint Venture (the "JV Agreement"), NorthStar Income II is the manager and controls the Joint Venture's business and affairs, subject to Steelwave's consent with respect to certain major decisions. Steelwave will manage the day-to-day operations of the Properties.  The JV Agreement also contains customary terms and conditions, including distributions on a pro rata basis subject to certain performance thresholds and certain forced sale and other liquidity provisions.
In connection with the Acquisition, the Joint Venture, through a subsidiary (the "Borrower"), obtained senior debt financing with an initial term of three years and a principal amount of approximately $82.5 million, with up to an additional $14.9 million of future funding commitments (the "Senior Borrowing"). The Senior Borrowing bears a floating interest rate of 1.9% over the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate and contains standard representations, warranties and covenants contained in transactions of this type. Although recourse for repayment of the Senior Borrowing is generally limited to the Borrower's assets, Steelwave provided a "non-recourse carveout" guaranty relating to certain obligations of the Borrower under the loan agreement and related documentation.  NorthStar Income II's operating partnership has agreed to indemnify Steelwave for certain of Steelwave's liabilities under such guaranty.
