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 Fannie Mae DUS loan in the amount of $9.357 million to refinance The Lodge Apartments in Pascagoula, Mississippi.
Located in Jackson County, The Lodge Apartments comprises a total of 209 units in 7 garden-style buildings and a one-story building that houses a laundry, fitness center and mailboxes. The loan terms were a 10-year fixed term with 30-year amortization and 75% loan-to-value.
“The Property was originally built in 1973, but was severely damaged in 2005 by hurricane Katrina,” commented Steven Cox, Director, Commercial Real Estate at Centerline. “The borrower rebuilt The Lodge Apartments from the ground up, using high-quality, durable materials and finishes designed to reduce the damage to the property in the event of another windstorm or flood.”
The borrower is The Lodge, LLC, a Mississippi limited liability company. The property offers a competitive amenity package that includes central heating/air conditioning, two salt water pools, a sand volleyball court, tennis court, 24-hr surveillance cameras at each building and courtesy patrol, and 330 uncovered parking spaces. The unit mix includes both one- and two-bedroom apartments.
“The property is well managed and in excellent condition,” added Cox. “We were pleased that this deal came together so well and that we are able to play a role in an area that was devastated by hurricane Katrina.”
Doug Solether with CommercialBanc was the broker who placed the loan. The deal team at Centerline included Steven Cox and Ian Monk.
