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 $2.4 million loan to refinance a multifamily property located in Wetumpka, Alabama through the Fannie Mae Small Loan Program. Proceeds from the loan – a cash out refinance – will be used to pay off the existing bank loan and to secure a long-term ten-year fixed rate. The loan carries a 30-year amortization schedule.
Pemrose Place Apartments is a 42-unit multifamily property that was built in 2010. The facility is comprised of 21, one-story buildings containing thirty six two-bedroom, one-bathroom units and six three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments. Property amenities include a playground and washer and dryer hookups in each unit.
The property has maintained a 96% occupancy rate for the last 12 months and has been at 92%+ occupancy since the initial lease up in 2010.
“Pemrose Place Apartments is located in Wetumpka, Alabama, which is part of the Montgomery, Alabama metropolitan area and currently one of the fastest growing counties in the state of Alabama,” commented Owen Breheny, Senior Vice President in the Mortgage Banking Division at Centerline Capital Group.
The borrower is Pemberton Properties, LLC, a local real estate owner-investor that developed Pemrose Place Apartments, along with two other multifamily projects totaling 116 units, in the past three years. In addition, Pemberton Properties retains management of the three local properties.
“The property is in good condition and located in a primarily residential neighborhood with good visibility,” added Breheny. “These factors – combined with the solid real estate fundamentals and strong sponsorship made this a good deal for Centerline. We were pleased to hat we were able to execute within the borrowers expectations with a low rate on a non-recourse fixed rate product through the Fannie Mae Small Loan Program.”
The loan was arranged by Paul Harbor of Grandbridge Real Estate Capital’s Birmingham AL office. Centerline’s deal team included Breheny, Darrell Clark and Freda Manuel.
