- Total funding equals $6.7 million -
New York, NY - September 16, 2013 - Centerline Capital Group ("Centerline"), a provider of real estate financial and asset management services for affordable and conventional multifamily housing, and a subsidiary of Centerline Holding Company, announced today it has provided a $6.7 million bridge loan to refinance and provide funds to expand a multifamily facility located in Chicago, Illinois.
The property is a 24-unit, five-story mid-rise apartment property located at 914 West Hubbard Street in Chicago. Built in 2006, the property is currently 95.8% occupied and contains 25 garage parking spaces. Proceeds from the floating rate loan will be used to retire existing debt and complete the build out of several new units.
The borrower is a local Chicago based developer. "The property is situated in an excellent location just outside of the Chicago Loop and within walking distance of the downtown entertainment and restaurant district," commented Joseph Markech, Vice President, Mortgage Banking Division at Centerline Capital Group. "The borrower needed to close quickly in order to pay-off an existing loan and avoid a significant penalty to extend. We were pleased that we could provide the borrower with a great deal, close in a timely fashion, and save them from a costly extension at the same time."
The deal was brokered by Anthony Longo, Managing Partner at Alpha Alternatives, LLC.
