Beech Street Capital Closes $16.4 Million Freddie Mac Loan to Acquire Tampa, FL Apartments




Cooper's Pond Apartments, Tampa, FL
BETHESDA, MD – Beech Street Capital, LLC, announced  it closed a $16.4 million Freddie Mac Capital Markets Execution loan used to acquire Cooper’s Pond Apartments, a 463-unit complex in Tampa, Florida.

 Mitch Sinberg and Michael Wallace, senior vice presidents in Beech Street’s Fort Lauderdale and Orlando offices, originated the transaction.

Robbins Property Associates, the borrower, had worked with Beech Street before. Impressed with its experience using Beech Street to finance the acquisition of Ashley Lake Park, a 300-unit complex in Boynton Beach, Robbins decided to return to Beech Street for Cooper’s Pond.

As in the previous deal, the borrower desired to take advantage of historically low interest rates, and once again, Beech Street was able to secure an early rate lock with Freddie Mac. The team also successfully obtained two closing extensions subsequent to rate lock to accommodate changes to the borrower structure.

“Robbins needed additional time and flexibility, and we found it for them,” Wallace says. “Our job is to make the best possible case for our clients with the agencies.” Clearly Robbins was satisfied. Beech Street is in the midst of underwriting yet another transaction for the firm.

Michael Wallace
Cooper’s Pond Apartments is in the Tampa-St. Petersburg MSA, seven miles from Tampa’s central business district. The property consists of 30, two-story apartment buildings. Amenities include a clubhouse/leasing office, pool, tennis courts, a fitness center with a racquet ball court, a dog park, and laundry rooms.
The fixed-rate loan has a seven-year term and two years of interest-only.
