Lument today announced the closing of $15.8 million in loans to refinance a five-property portfolio of Low Income Housing Tax Credit garden-style apartments in Riverside County, California. The loans replace existing agency debt placed by Lument and were arranged by Tom Dixon, a director on Lument’s affordable housing production team.
The loans are for Cottonwood Place II, Cottonwood Place III, Cottonwood Place IV, Mission Palms I, and Mission Palms II. All are Freddie Mac TAH 10-year fixed-rate loans with a 35-year amortization and five years interest only except Mission Palms I, which is 10-years fixed-rate with a 30-year amortization.
The sponsor is Palm Communities, a decades old Irvine, California based affordable housing developer with a portfolio of approximately 2,000 affordable units across 30 properties in the Golden State.
“We were grateful for Tom and his team at Lument for the speed and efficiency with which they pulled this financing together,” said Danavon Horn, Palm Communities’ CEO. “These refinancings not only successfully replaced existing debt but provided cash-out proceeds—a rarity in this environment. We’re pleased to have met our goals.”
Additional details about each property:
Cottonwood Place II: 61 units across five buildings in Moreno Valley
Cottonwood Place III: 58 units across five buildings in Moreno Valley
Cottonwood Place IV: 46 units across four buildings in Moreno Valley
Mission Palms I: 109 units across nine buildings in Riverside (age-restricted 55+)
