Loan Amount: $1.2 million

Loan Date: Feb. 26, 2016 

Maturity Date: July 26, 2019

Borrower: Omni Schools, Inc.

Lender: Regions Bank

Details: Omni Prep Academy has purchased the Raleigh Presbyterian Church across from the Raleigh Springs Mall for $1.3 million.

JTP Ventures LLC and SLS Ventures LLC sold the 39,312-square-foot building at 3385 Austin Peay Highway to Omni Schools Inc., according to a Feb. 26 warranty deed that was filed with the Shelby County Register last week.

The charter school’s current campus is also in Raleigh at 3333 Old Brownsville Road, just north of the church.

Last September, Shelby County Schools and the Tennessee Board of Education both rejected Omni Prep’s application and subsequent appeal to open a Frayser high school, citing that the existing schools were too low-performing to warrant an expansion.

Omni Prep founder Cary Booker said that the new location will be Omni’s permanent location for the lower and middle schools. Omni currently leases at the Brownsville Road property. 

The move will occur in the summer. 

In conjunction with the sale, Omni Prep took out a $1.2 million mortgage with Regions Bank. The loan matures July 26, 2019.
