Greystone Finances Atlanta Property

Leaf Stone Apartments in Newton County

Greystone has supplied a $25.3 million loan for the refinancing of a 232-unit asset in Covington, Ga. The loan is a non-recourse, fixed-rate Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Service loan.

Owner Patrician LS LLC secured the financing, which will carry a 10-year term and 30-year amortization and 10 years of interest-only payments. The money will pay off a prior Greystone CMBS loan, allowing Patrician to monetize some of the equity in the asset.

According to Yardi Matrix data, Patrician purchased the property, Leaf Stone Apartments in Newton County, for $4.4 million in 2007.
