Deutsche Bank refis FHA, mez debt with $28.5M Freddie Mac loan

Baton Rouge, La.—Deutsche Bank Berkshire Mortgage (DBBM) recently provided a $28.5 million Freddie Mac Capital Markets Execution (CME) loan for the refinance of Evergreen at Coursey Place Apartments, a 352-unit multifamily community in Baton Rouge, La. The property was constructed in 2003 and acquired by the borrower in 2008.

DBBM rate locked the transaction with an all-in 10-year note of 5.07 percent, and provided a two-year interest only period followed by 30-year amortization. Previously the property debt consisted of both a Federal Housing Authority (FHA) 221(d)(4) loan and a mezzanine loan. The borrower wanted to consolidate these two loans and decrease the interest cost by refinancing the combined indebtedness and lock in the reduced rate for the next 10 years.

“DBBM was pleased to provide the borrower a cost-efficient solution,” says Steve Wendel, Co-Head of DBBM. “The market appetite for Freddie Mac loans remains strong, and we are dedicated to providing the experience and leadership needed to enhance loan transactions for our borrowers.”
