NEW YORK, NY - Centerline Capital Group (“Centerline”), a provider of real estate financial and asset management services for affordable and conventional multifamily housing, and a subsidiary of Centerline Holding Company (OTC: CLNH), announced today it has provided a small balance multi-family loan to complete a rate and term refinance on Chivas West, a multifamily property located in Irving, Texas.
Chivas West is a garden style multifamily facility that comprises 6 two-story buildings with a total of 72 units. The loan facility – a tier 2 Fannie Mae loan – is a 10-year fixed rate facility with a 30-year amortization period. The proceeds of the loan will be used to refinance the existing debt, and lock in low-rate, long-term financing.
Centerline is one of the nation’s leading Mortgage Banking institutions in the multifamily sector. Its Small Loan Group, which is housed within the Mortgage Banking unit, provides loans between $1 and $5 million, with an average loan size of $1.8 million.
The borrower, Trassatts Corporation, purchased the property in 2010. Since acquisition, the owner has spent approximately $46,000 on various improvements and replacements including landscaping, exterior painting, HVAC replacements, as well as a variety of interior improvements.
“Chivas West is in good condition, has good visibility, and is located within the stable Dallas-Fort Worth area,” commented Charlie Cole, Regional Director in the Small Loan Group at Centerline. “In addition, the borrower has a solid track record in real estate investment and management and recently increased average occupancy at the property to 97%. These factors made this an attractive deal for Centerline.”
The Centerline deal team consisted of Marissa Whiteside, Roger Lopez and Vanessa Howes.
The property consists of one rectangular-shaped parcel of land totaling approximately 2.866 acres. The unit mix includes 24 one bedroom/one-bath units, 47 two-bedroom/two-bath units, and one three-bedroom/two-bath unit. Property parking consists of 144 open spaces.
