Eastern Union, one of America’s largest commercial real estate mortgage brokerages, has arranged $28,086,000 in financing toward the acquisition of a 437-unit, multifamily portfolio encompassing thirteen individual properties in Bridgeport, CT.
The mortgage was secured by senior managing director Motti Blau, senior loan consultant Mendy Pfeifer, and senior loan consultant Hershy Fried. Dov Bakon served as underwriter for the transaction.
The loan carried an interest rate of 5.25 percent over a ten-year term. Financing included five years of interest-only payments and an amortization period of 30 years.
The overall financing package consisted of three loans amounting to $11,809,000, $9,348,000 and $6,929,000. The full sale price was $39,637,500.
“Despite the large scope of this portfolio, our Eastern Union team worked quickly and efficiently to close this substantial transaction,” said Eastern Union president and co-founder Abraham Bergman. “And thanks to their knowledge of the lending marketplace, they delivered a great interest rate for our client, along with an ample period of interest-only payments.”
