Newmark Knight Frank is pleased to announce that its New York-based Debt & Structured Finance team has secured $60 million in financing on behalf of RealSource Residential from Varde Partners for the refinancing of a portfolio of multifamily properties located in Greensboro, North Carolina and Fairfield, Ohio. The NKF team that arranged the transaction was led by Vice Chairmen and Co-Heads Dustin Stolly and Jordan Roeschlaub, Managing Director Nick Scribani and Associate Director Josh Egert.
The portfolio of garden-style buildings totals 816 units and was acquired between 2015 and 2016. RealSource implemented a strategy of improving common areas and unit interiors across the properties.
“RealSource has an impeccable track record in the value-add multifamily space,” said Mr. Roeschlaub. “This financing allows them to lower their cost of capital substantially while they complete the remainder of the business plan. The loan also offers near-term flexibility that enables RealSource to convert to fixed-rate financing efficiently.”
