SANTA CLARA, CA-Walker & Dunlop LLC, a subsidiary of Walker & Dunlop Inc., has provided Interland LLC $74.4 million in supplemental financing for Bella Vista Apartments, a class-A residential apartment community here. The supplemental loan was structured with an 8.13-year term and a 30-year amortization. It was underwritten to a 54.11% loan-to-value (combined first loan and supplemental loan) with a 1.33x debt-service coverage ratio.

Walker & Dunlop’s SVP Jeff Burns and SVP Verne Murray led the team in the financing transaction. Murray tells GlobeSt.com that the financing was obtained in order to convert leasehold interest to fee interest on multiple parcels.

“I always knew I could count on Walker & Dunlop to perform, and this latest transaction only reinforced that belief,” said Don Lewis, EVP for Interland, in a prepared statement. “With the complexity of supplemental financing plus the size of the loan, it was great to have Verne, Jeff and their team at Walker & Dunlop assisting us through the process.”

Bella Vista, which was over 96% occupied at closing, is a 634-unit garden-style apartment community built by Interland in two phases in 1991 and 1993. The multifamily complex is situated on more than 22 acres and offers one- and two-bedroom units featuring new all-electric kitchen appliances, spacious closets, ceiling fans and patios or balconies. Top-floor units feature cathedral ceilings and marble wood-burning fireplaces. Property amenities include two clubhouse buildings, three outdoor pools, spas and saunas, a carwash area, gated entry and private garages in some buildings. The main clubhouse includes a resident lounge, full kitchen, fitness center, library, reception and mezzanine area, conference center with Internet access, and an aerobics studio.

As GlobeSt.com reported earlier this month, Bethesda, MD-based Walker & Dunlop is acquiring CWCapital in a cash-and-stock deal for $220 million. The deal, structured as an $80-million cash payment and approximately $140 million of W&D stock, was expected to close within 90 to 120 days, subject to stockholder and regulatory approval. Once it does, the firm will have scaled up considerably—creating one of the largest commercial real estate lenders in the country. “The overall reach of the company will grow dramatically because of this deal, from its geographic footprint to overall origination volumes,” Willy Walker, CEO of Walker & Dunlop, told GlobeSt.com at the time.
