Parkview Towers is owned by Parkview Towers LLC and Clock Towers Apartments is owned by Jefferson-Adams Rehab Co., LP. The two ownership entities share principals. The financing was secured by Love Funding senior director Laura Saull-Smith through the US Department of Housing and Urban Development’s 223(a)(7) loan insurance program, which allows up to 12 years to be added to an existing HUD mortgage’s remaining term. The HUD program provided the ownership team with low-rate, non-recourse financing to refinance the existing debt and lower the debt service on the loan, providing more than $500,000 in annual savings. A significant factor in generating the cost savings was how quickly the loans moved through the New York hub office of HUD; both transactions were processed in about 30 days. “ Love Funding did a great job on the transaction,” says Charlie Gendron , president of Low Income Housing and a principal involved with both properties. “ Laura was instrumental in getting the transaction to close so fast, including switching the closing from Newark to New York, a phenomenal feat that saved us a lot of money.” Both properties are managed by Parkview Management Corp. , which has specialized in multifamily hi-rise affordable communities for more than 40 years. “ Love Funding has been a pleasure to work with,” says Parkview Management president Lisa J. D’Alessandro . “ Laura and her team were able to able to bring us to a close effectively and efficiently.” Steady gains in the US economy have resulted in net positives for the multifamily sector—will this wave continue for the foreseeable future? What’s driving development and capital flows? Join us at RealShare Apartments on October 19 & 20 for impactful information from the leaders in the National multifamily space.
