The securitized loan was used to refinance existing floating-rate debt on the property, and will be serviced by HFF, a Freddie Mac Multifamily Approved Seller/Servicer for Conventional Loans.

  The refinance was a continuation of the borrower’s strategy to mitigate interest-rate risk amid the current rising rate environment. 

The borrower was able replace their existing 5.15 percent, floating rate at closing with a 4.25 percent, seven-year fixed rate.  The fixed-rate conversion took the ongoing LIBOR adjustment risk off the table and ultimately provided the borrower with a reduction in the all-in rate with additional interest-only amortization.

Advenir at Del Arte Townhomes is located at 11135 E. Alameda Avenue, which offers nearby access to Interstates 25, 225 and 70. 

The property’s 94 townhome-style units are 93 percent occupied and comprise a mix of one- and two-bedroom layouts and features, including attached garages, washers and dryers, and spacious entertainment kitchens.
