SAN DIEGO, CA – HFF announced today that it has secured $23.5 million for Centro Apartments and Harborview Apartments, two Class A multi-housing communities totaling 141 units in National City, San Diego, California.

               HFF worked on behalf of the borrower, PCD Capital Group and Birge & Held Asset Management, in arranging the two loans through Opus Bank.  A $9.3 million fixed-rate loan was secured for Centro, and $14.2 million in fixed-rate financing was placed on Harborview.

The new loans carry 10-year terms, with five-year initial fixed-rate periods on a non-recourse basis.  Both loans are refinancing existing mortgages on the properties.

               Centro Apartments and Harborview Apartments are situated within five blocks of each other at 45 East 12th Street and 819 D Avenue in the South Bay area of San Diego, about four miles south of downtown.  Completed in 2012, Centro is a four-story project with 60 units averaging 959 square feet each. 

The community features a pool, barbeque area, sundeck and ground-level enclosed parking.  Harborview Apartments, completed in 2011, has 81 units in one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom layouts averaging 1,279 square feet each.

Community amenities include a fitness center, business center, structured parking, and a barbeque area. At six stories high, it is the only Class A mid-rise development in the South Bay area.

               The HFF team representing the borrower was led by director Zach Koucos.

“There continues to be great competition in the capital markets for quality multi-housing assets such as these two properties. This was an example where a regional bank offered terms superior to the Agencies, life companies, and conduits in order to win the business,” Koucos said.
