HFF arranges $56 million refinancing for Honolulu, Hawaii area multi-housing community



IRVINE, CA –HFF announced that it has arranged a $56 million refinancing for Oasis at Waipahu (top left photo), a 406-unit, townhome-style multi-housing community outside of Honolulu, Hawaii.

HFF worked exclusively on behalf of the borrower, a joint venture led by The Bascom Group, to secure the 36-month, floating-rate loan with Prime Finance.  Prime Finance closed on the loan within three weeks from a signed application.  Proceeds were used to refinance the existing debt on the property.

Oasis at Waipahu is located about 16 miles northwest of downtown Honolulu halfway between Kapolei and Honolulu.  Originally built in 1965, the 406 units are comprised of 374 townhomes and 32 flats. 

Community amenities include a clubhouse, pool, kiddie pool, laundry room, fitness center, business center and dog park.  Though certain interior renovations are on-going, Oasis at Waipahu had undergone a significant interior and exterior renovation during 2008 and 2009.  The property, managed by Entrada Partners out of Los Angeles, is currently 97 percent leased.

The HFF team representing the borrowers was led by senior managing director Kevin MacKenzie (middle right photo) and associate director Charles Halladay (bottom left photo).
