Lifestyle Communities has received a $79.9 million loan to refinance its existing debt on LC Murfreesboro, a Class A, 580-unit apartment community located in Murfreesboro, Tenn., roughly 35 miles from Nashville.

KeyBank’s Commercial Mortgage Group originated the fixed-rate financing. The company’s Jon Reible, SVP, regional sales manager, arranged an 11-year term, five-year interest-only period and 30-year amortization schedule.

Originally built between 2015 and 2018, the complex encompasses 19, three-story apartment buildings, all featuring one- and two-bedroom units. Located at 1206 Robert Rose Drive, LC Murfreesboro is situated on 31.81 acres of land, directly across from the popular The Avenue shopping center.

In April, KeyBank originated $65.9 million in Freddie Mac financing for two senior housing properties in Western New York with a total of 258 units, including assisting living and memory care units.

Murfreesboro Gaining in Popularity

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported a 3 percent increase in job growth in the Nashville—Davidson—Murfreesboro—Franklin area in February, which was an uptick of about 29,800 jobs year-over-year.
