GRESHAM, OR—Stephen Whitehead, managing director of NorthMarq Capital's Dallas-based regional office, arranged the $48 million refinance of Lumina Apartments, a 440-unit multifamily property located at 2700 Powell Street in Gresham, OR. The transaction was structured with a 10-year term with 5-years of interest only followed by a 30-year amortization schedule. NorthMarq arranged financing for the borrower through the Fannie Mae's Green Rewards platform. The subject, constructed in 1990, was able to qualify for the Green Rewards through the borrower's commitment to installing low-flow toilets over the next 12 months in order to achieve 20% water consumption savings and escrowing for these improvements.
PORTLAND, OR—American Realty Advisors along with its joint-venture partner, Unico Properties LLC, a real estate investment and operating company, has acquired Congress Center, a 23-story high-rise office tower in Portland. The property is strategically located along the primary mass-transit corridor in the heart of Portland's central business district.
EVERETT, WA–Marcus & Millichap has sold of Shoreside Village, a 119-unit multifamily community located on Beverly Lake in Everett, WA. The $15.35-million sales price equates to just under $129,000 per unit. “Professionally managed and well-maintained over the past decade, the property provides new ownership with both a turn-key asset and one that offers opportunities to enhance value,” says Rich Walker, vice president investments in Marcus & Millichap's Seattle office. “Rental competition in the immediate neighborhood is relatively low as there are only two other conventional market-rate apartment communities on Beverly Lake.”
REDMOND, WA—MainStreet Property Group LLC has opened The Carter on The Park, a new six-story apartment community in the heart of downtown Redmond. Named after renowned local Redmond artist and wood carver Dudley Carter, MainStreet Property Group's new building is located at 7508 159th Place NE across from Dudley Carter Park, adjacent to the Sammamish River Trail and a 4.6-acre preserved urban forest, and within walking distance to downtown Redmond retail shops and restaurants.
