Berkadia Secures $51.9M Acquisition Loan for Multifamily Community in New Jersey | REBusiness Online
Mortgage Banker Touts $52 Million Loan for Bayshore Multifamily Deal | Real Estate NJ
PHILADELPHIA – August 21, 2018 – Berkadia today announced the $51.97 million financing for Thousand Oaks Village, a garden-style multifamily property in Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey. Senior Managing Director Bob Falese and Managing Director Jeff Heath of the Philadelphia office secured the acquisition loan through Freddie Mac for the borrower, Delaware-based 165 Thousand Oaks Drive LLC. The deal closed on July 11.
The sponsorship for this transaction was led by a joint venture between Kushner Real Estate (KRE) and Verde Capital Corp. The property will undergo a substantial renovation plan intended to upgrade units and improve overall performance as part of the investment strategy. Berkadia utilized the Freddie Mac Mod Rehab Loan Program, allowing the borrower to fix a long-term interest rate in at closing, float during the renovation period and automatically convert to the already locked fixed rate upon renovation completion.
“As part of KRE / Verde’s renovation plan, KRE’s President Jon Kushner and Verde’s President Jake Reiter requested that Berkadia craft a unique solution that would allow the venture to renovate the asset while minimizing interest rate risk by allowing a rate to be locked for the entire term of the loan/investment,” said Heath. “The Freddie Mod Rehab Loan Program was tailor-made for this type of redevelopment and investment strategy.”
Located at 165 Thousand Oaks Drive, Thousand Oaks Village features units with one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans. Amenities such as air conditioning, fully-equipped kitchens, large closets, hard-wood floors and private patios and balconies are offered in each unit. The residents can enjoy access to laundry facilities, a pool, a playground and a tennis court. The property is accessible via Memorial Parkway and is fewer than seven miles from Sandy Hook Beach.
KRE is a New Jersey-based real estate development and management company with holdings throughout New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. Verde Capital, headquartered in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, is a leading real estate private equity and investment management company providing capital to strategic operating partners nationally, across multiple asset classes.
