Centerline provides $24M acquisition loan for Massachusetts mid-rise

Arlington, Mass.—Centerline Capital Group has provided a $24 million loan that facilitates the acquisition of Brigham Square, a newly built mid-rise community in Arlington, Mass., just outside of Boston. The 116-unit community is being acquired by U.S. Real Estate Investment Fund, a fund advised by Intercontinental Real Estate Corporation.

“Brigham Square is one of the best located suburban properties in the Boston area,” says Paul Donahue, managing director, mortgage banking at Centerline. “It has good visibility and is well located next to Minuteman Bikeway which runs from Cambridge out to the historic neighborhoods of Lexington, providing attractive commuting options for residents of the property. Within a half-mile of the property are convenient amenities including a major supermarket and a variety of excellent restaurants. The Boston-area apartment market remains strong with the state having gained 47,000 new residents in the last year. These factors, in combination with the property’s curb appeal, and strength of the borrower made this a solid deal for Centerline.”

Seventeen of the property’s units are considered affordable. There are 165 total parking spaces (89 garaged). The amenity package includes an elevator, great room with wet bar, a media room, pool table, fitness center, and video game area with Wi-Fi.
