- Total funding equals $6.49 million -
New York, NY - December 17, 2013 - Centerline Capital Group, a provider of real estate mortgage services for affordable and conventional multifamily housing, announced today it has provided a $6.49 million Freddie Mac Targeted Affordable Housing Fixed Rate Capital Markets Execution for the acquisition of Chapel Ridge of Shawnee.
Located in Shawnee, Oklahoma, Chapel Ridge is a 208-unit apartment community that was built in two phases. Phase 1 comprises 144 units constructed in 1998 with the use of Low Income Housing Tax Credits. Phase 2 includes 64 market-rate units that were built in 1999 with conventional financing.
Chapel Ridge is made up of 18, two-story garden style and townhouse style apartment buildings, a gymnasium, and a clubhouse/leasing center. The property is located at 130 East 45th Street, in the far northern portion of the City of Shawnee, approximately 38 miles east from downtown Oklahoma City.
"Historically, Oklahoma City has outperformed the state and the nation with respect to unemployment, and the current rate in the MSA is 4.1%, which is below the State of Oklahoma`s rate of 4.9%, and notably better than the nation`s rate of 7.6%" commented Jim Gillespie, Managing Director at Centerline Capital Group. "At the same time, the Oklahoma economy has enjoyed broad-based expansion buoyed by strength in the state`s oil and gas industry and strong economic conditions statewide have pushed job and income growth above the national rate."
The borrower is PC Chapel, LLC and the loan carries a seven-year term with five-year prepayment, 80% loan to value and is interest only for 12 months with a 30-year amortization.
"The borrower is a repeat Centerline client with significant real estate experience through owning and operating multifamily properties," added Gillespie. "A Centerline-sponsored LIHTC fund was the original syndicator of the low income housing tax credits when the property was built as well as the seller and limited partner involved in the disposition of the property to the new purchaser. This is a quality deal and we were pleased that we could leverage the relationship and involvement on the sale to arrange a new debt opportunity for a new purchaser."
Common area amenities include two swimming pools, a clubhouse with kitchen and business center, outdoor basketball court, community center/indoor basketball court, laundry facility, five playgrounds, moderate landscaping, controlled access gate, on-site maintenance and on-site leasing. The property also offers 406 open parking spaces.
