Aliso Creek Apartments, Aliso Viejo, Calif.
Shortly after arranging a $20.5 million refinancing loan for Lenox Pointe Apartments in Warner Robbins, Ga., NorthMarq Capital has arranged $141.5 million to refinance Aliso Creek Apartments in Aliso Viejo, Calif. The financing for the owner, Sares-Regis, was secured through a serviced CMBS lender.
Located at 24152 Hollyoak, the pet friendly community comprises 535 one- and two-bedroom layouts ranging from 795 to 1,275 square feet. Comprising 52 two- and three-story buildings, the property was constructed in 1984 and currently has an occupancy rate of 93.1 percent, according to Yardi Matrix.

The financial plan
The financing closed at 5.2 percent, 1.2 IO DCR and 78.5 percent LTV on a 4.5 percent California cap rate. The transaction was structured as a full term interest only loan, providing a long-term capital solution to the borrower and took out the senior bridge and mezzanine deal placed by NorthMarq Capital in 2014. According to Yardi Matrix, the 2014 deal was for a $140 million loan held by Prudential Financial.
The company will securitize the pure investment Grade A note in June 2018. Two Korean institutions will split the B note. The mezzanine loan was placed with Goldman Sachs, according to Yardi Matrix. The bank took down all of the secured debt at closing and will cut the B notes prior to securitization of the senior portion. NorthMarq will service the A and B notes totaling $121.5 million. The mezzanine provider will receive direct payments on the $20 million mezzanine loan.
“We closed a highly structured transaction with a major New York investment bank. The execution was excellent and they held the ‘all-in’ spread despite market widening without re-trades,” said Executive Vice President & Managing Director Michael Elmore, who negotiated the financing for this deal. “While this was a complicated financing package, all parties worked great together including the mezzanine provider.”
