HFF arranges $26 million refinancing for Rosewood Park Apartments in Reno, NV

  

IRVINE, CA – HFF announced today that it has arranged a $26 million refinancing for Rosewood Park Apartments, a 900-unit multi-housing community in Reno, Nevada.

HFF worked on behalf of the borrower, Buff Management, to secure the five-year, fixed-rate loan through AIG Asset Management.  Loan proceeds replaced an existing financing that matured in September.  HFF will also service the loan.

Rosewood Park Apartments is situated on 38.13 acres at 4500 Mira Loma Drive near the Reno/Tahoe International Airport in southeast Reno.  The property has 112 buildings with one-, two- and three-bedroom units averaging 833 square feet each.  Community amenities include four pools, four lighted tennis courts, four basketball courts, two spas, a fitness center, volleyball court and on-site laundry.  Rosewood Park Apartments is 86 percent leased.

The HFF team representing Buff Management was led by managing director David Bleiweiss (middle right photo) and associate director Greg Brown. 

 “With our life company correspondent relationships, we were able to secure an attractive fixed-rate loan on the largest apartment project in the Reno market, on an asset that had only recently stabilized and in a market that has been doing the same,” said Bleiwess.

Buff Management manages a portfolio of approximately 3,500 units in Southern California, Reno, Las Vegas and San Antonio.

HFF arranges $23.5 million financing for Plantation Colony Apartments in Broward County, FL


MIAMI, FL – HFF announced today that it has arranged $23.5 million in financing for Plantation Colony Apartments (middle left photo), a 256-unit multi-housing community in Plantation, Florida. 

HFF worked exclusively on behalf of the borrower to secure the seven-year, fixed-rate loan through Western National Life Insurance Company.  Loan proceeds were used to recapitalize the property. 

Plantation Colony Apartments, located at 8210 SW 12th Street near Interstate 595 and Pine Island Road, is adjacent to the Cornerstone Corporate Park and Crossroads Business Park about 12 miles west of downtown Fort Lauderdale.  The property, which recently underwent unit renovations and common area upgrades, has one- and two-bedroom units and is 95 percent leased.  Residents have access to two pools, two lighted tennis courts, a computer lab, car care center, fitness center, playground and dog park. 

The HFF team representing the borrower was led by senior managing director Paul Stasaitis (lower right photo).

 “The desirability of the property’s location and the owner’s attention to property improvements contributed greatly to the very long history of high occupancy at the property,” said Stasaitis.  “This only expanded the level of lender interest, and in this case a life company execution was the most compelling choice.”

HFF secures $10.92 million financing for Sparks, NV multi-housing community




IRVINE, CA – HFF announced today that it has secured $10.92 million in financing for The Waterford (top left photo), a 240-unit multi-housing community in Sparks, Nevada.

Working on behalf of Silverwing Development, AJU Investments and the Strand Group of Companies, HFF placed an 80 percent LTV, seven-year, Capped ARM acquisition loan with Freddie Mac (Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation).

  HFF will service the loan through its Freddie Mac Program Plus® Seller/Servicer program.

The Waterford is located at 800 Nichols Boulevard across from the Sparks Marina.  The property offers one-, two- and three-bedroom units and is currently 92 percent leased.  Community amenities include a swimming pool and hot tub, 24-hour fitness center, lighted basketball court, picnic areas with barbecues, covered parking and five laundry facilities.

The HFF team representing Silverwing, AJU and Strand was led by managing director David Bleiweiss (lower right photo) and associate director Greg Brown. 

“This was a tremendous opportunity for the buyers of this asset,"said Bleiweiss.

"We were able to obtain a waiver for 80 percent financing through our relationship with Freddie Mac, and the buyer was able to capitalize on the attractive Capped ARM Program offered by Freddie Mac. 

This drove the cash-on-cash returns for this investment above what is typical for this quality of multi-housing, especially in today’s competitive acquisition environment,”  

Silverwing Development is a residential and land developer, headquartered in Concord, CA, that is currently focused on repositioning commercial and multifamily assets in the Western US.  AJU Investments is focused on the acquisition and repositioning of multi-housing and retail properties throughout the Southwest US and Florida.  Strand is actively involved in the acquisition and financing of multifamily and single family residential projects throughout the US.
