NEW YORK CITY—Kushner Companies, a diversified real estate organization headquartered here, experienced what it called a brisk first quarter, with $395.8 million in financing activities completed in the multifamily sector.

The activity involved more than 3,800 apartment units and nearly fifty buildings—affirming that 2015 is expected to be a strong year for financing in the multifamily space, said Kushner Companies' CEO Jared Kushner.

“Our financing activity for the first quarter of 2015 approached $400 million—all of that for multifamily properties, which we think speaks to both the strength of this asset class and our ability to execute on business plans to make improvements and build long term value at these properties,” says Kushner. “With a significant amount already in the pipeline for the coming months and the rest of this year, we're grateful to the diverse group of lenders that we work with on a daily basis.”
