Gaithersburg, Md.–CWC Capital, a subsidiary of CW Financial Services, has provided $90 million in construction financing for Westchester at Olde Towne Gaithersburg in Montgomery County, Md. The Westchester at Olde Towne Gaithersburg is a 389-unit, Class-A, multifamily property. Ground was broken on Jan. 25th and construction will take approximately two years, concluding in January 2013. The property will include an above ground parking garage, health club, lagoon-style pool with landscaped gardens, and an epicurean clubhouse. The complex is comprised of two four-story buildings located in downtown Gaithersburg, just north of Washington D.C. The property is being developed by Colorado-based Archstone. The project represents the second time Archstone has executed financing with CW through the FHA lending platform. “CW and Archstone have once again been successful in structuring a transaction that matched the scope and attributes of the project with the often complicated FHA criteria,” says Andrea McClure, senior vice president for CW. “We are pleased to be able to complete this transaction and look forward to Archstone introducing the property into the market upon completion in 2013.” Venture West Funding arranges $7.8M package of apartment loans Manhattan Beach, Calif.–Venture West Funding Inc. has arranged loans totaling $7.8 million for the refinance of four apartment buildings located in Glendale and Pasadena, Calif. The four properties contain 76 units, built between 1962 and 1987 and are currently 98 percent occupied. Jean-Marc Herrouin, senior loan consultant, and Matt Douglas, principal, of Venture West Funding arranged the financing through Greystone Servicing Corporation Inc. The borrower is a local investor who owns and manages several buildings in the Pasadena/Glendale market.
