CHICAGO, IL – The Chicago office of HFF (Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P.) has secured a $31 million refinancing for Lincoln at Ovaltine Court, (above photo) a 344-unit luxury multifamily community in Villa Park, Illinois.

Working on behalf of LPC Ovaltine Apartments LLC (comprised of the Lincoln Property Company and the AFL-CIO Building Investment Trust (BIT), HFF director Matthew Schoenfeldt (top right photo) and senior managing director Mike Kavanau (middle left photo) placed a five-year, 5.35% fixed-rate loan with Freddie Mac (Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation).

The Ovaltine factory space was converted to 121 loft-style homes in the main brick four-story structure. The remaining 223 homes and six commercial units are new construction, garden-style buildings situated throughout the 14-acre site.

Lincoln at Ovaltine Court was developed in 2001 and has homes ranging from 673 to 1,318 square feet that are currently 93% leased. The homes feature high ceilings (9 to 16 feet), washers/dryers, balconies/patios, and many homes contain fireplaces and direct access garages. Community amenities include a fitness center, business center and resident clubroom in more than 3,500 square feet in the main factory structure, as well as an outdoor swimming pool and sundeck.
