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, announced today it has provided a $6.75 million Fannie Mae fixed rate affordable loan to refinance Pinewood Pointe Apartments, a multifamily facility located in Jacksonville, Florida.
The fixed-rate loan has a twelve-year term, 9.5-year lockout, and a 30-year amortizing schedule. The borrower is SP Pinewood, LP, a Florida limited partnership. The proceeds from the loan will be used to refinance existing tax-exempt bonds, which were also financed by Centerline.

“The property is well-located in a desirable residential neighborhood with high quality development surrounding the property and easy access to major employers, supportive commercial uses and recreational amenities,” noted Jim Gillespie, Managing Director at Centerline Capital Group. “The borrower is a repeat Centerline client that is a very experienced multifamily developer, owner and manager. At Centerline, we continuously look to identify affordable housing opportunities that are attractive to our investors and also make a significant impact on the communities where they exist.”
Pinewood Pointe Apartments was originally constructed in 1991, and was acquired and renovated in 2007 with tax-exempt bonds issued by Florida Housing Finance Corporation and equity from the sale of 4% low income housing tax credits.
Property amenities include a clubhouse/leasing office with business center, common laundry room, a community pool, two children’s playgrounds, car wash area and picnic areas.
