The sponsor is Malkin Properties, a property owner and management firm that currently manages over 2,700 rental units in Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, and Virginia. Malkin Properties has managed multifamily assets for over 40 years.
“We were pleased that these loans came together so well,” noted Adam Klingher, Senior Vice President at Centerline Capital Group. “The loans were provided to the same borrower, a new Centerline client. The sponsor has more than twenty-five years of experience developing, owning, operating and managing commercial real estate. These factors made these deals attractive to Centerline.”
“Our first experience with Centerline was great. They were easy to work with, well organized and did a good job effectively managing the timing and delivering on the financing as promised,” noted George Perry, director of investments at Malkin Properties.
The loans were closed by members of Centerline’s Chicago office, including Klingher and Brooke Jackson.
