AUSTIN, Tex., PHOENIX and TUCSON, Ariz. – July 9, 2018 – Berkadia today announced the recent $46.2 million in combined financing and $64.5 million in combined sales for Stonybrook Apartment Homes, Quail Ridge Apartments and La Jolla de Tucson, three multifamily properties located in Tucson, Arizona. Managing Director Andy Hill of Berkadia’s Austin, Texas office secured the financing through Freddie Mac. Senior Managing Director Art Wadlund and Director Clint Wadlund of Berkadia’s Tucson office teamed up with Senior Managing Directors Mark Forrester and Ric Holway and Senior Director Dan Cheyne of Berkadia’s Phoenix office to represent both the seller, Hawaii-based Holualoa Companies, and the buyer, Texas-based Commerce Capital Partners, LLC. The deal closed on June 28.
The three 12-year, fixed-rate acquisition loans for each property feature a 4.5 percent interest rate and six years of interest-only followed by a 30-year amortization schedule.
