Built in 1940, Oxford Portfolio is a 117-unit garden style apartment complex that consists of seven buildings on four parcels, including three contiguous parcels and one non-contiguous parcel. The borrower acquired the property in 2007 and has invested approximately $175,000 in capital improvements in the past three years, including new appliances, new flooring, unit upgrades, plumbing and electrical upgrades, and roof replacements.

“The borrower and manager is a seasoned real estate executive who has done a lot to improve this property over the past couple of years,” commented Owen Breheny, Senior Vice President, Mortgage Banking Division at Centerline. “In addition to its solid sponsorship, the property is well-located with a very high occupancy rate. These factors made this an attractive deal for Centerline.”
