Berkadia closes two deals totaling $35.3M
Portland, Ore. & Little Rock, Ark.—Berkadia Commercial Mortgage has recently provided $35 million for two multifamily assets. The firm’s Portland office closed a $23 million construction loan through HUD’s 221(d)(4) program for the construction of Prescott Street, a 155-unit asset in Portland, Ore. The loan featured an 88.3 percent loan-to-cost ratio, and allowed the developer, Prescott Apartments LLC, to begin construction on April 4, 2012. The transit oriented development also received a $400,000 grant from the City of Portland. The expected completion date is early 2014.
“We were able to guide the borrower through the lengthy HUD process and get them the financing needed to start construction, despite the fact that it has been difficult to obtain loans more than $20 million for multifamily projects such as these,” says Rob Affleck, vice president at Berkadia.
The Dallas office of Berkadia also recently closed $12.3 million in permanent financing through Fannie Mae for a four-story, 124-unit garden property in Little Rock, Arkansas. The 2011-built property was 93 percent occupied when the financing was placed. That loan was originated by John Koeijmans, senior vice president, and Frank Joyce, assistant vice president.
