Located at 43436 16th St. W., the property was built in four separate phases of 200 units each between 1986 and 1988. The community offers one-, two- and three-bedroom units along with a laundry facility, fitness center and swimming pool.
The asset was previously owned by Provident Resources Group, which bought it from Municipal Capital Appreciation Partners in 2002 for $47.8 million, according to Yardi Matrix. For the most recent sale, Freddie Mac purchased the 15-year, fixed-rate loan with eight years of interest-only payments through its Targeted Affordable Housing program.
A Berkadia team of Senior Managing Director Mitch Sinberg, Associate Director Matthew Robbins and Senior Analyst Abigail Beauchamp secured the loan. Singberg noted that the former owner made value-add improvements to the property, which caters to renters in the affordable and market-rate segment.
