Alliant Capital LLC South Finalizes Refinance with One-Year Interest Only - Loan frees up cash flow for borrower
FRISCO, Texas – July 23, 2009 — Alliant Capital LLC, a leading debt and equity financier and Fannie Mae DUS® lender, for the multifamily industry, today announces the refinance of Waterside, on behalf of Waterside Apartments, Ltd. The transaction was completed with a 10-year term and one-year interest only at 5.69 percent.
“In a down economy it is important for apartment owners to find innovative ways to generate greater cash flow,” said Billy Hurst, senior vice president of the Alliant Capital South office. “By utilizing a one-year interest only refinance program, we were able to deliver the necessary cash flow to help improve the borrowers operating budgets and allow for renovations to the property.”
Located in Brownsville, Texas and approximately three and a half miles from the city’s commercial business district, the Waterside community has a healthy occupancy base. Built in 1983, the property has 120 garden style apartment units in nine, two-story buildings.
“The Waterside property boasts a strong occupancy rate, averaging 97 percent during the past three years,” added Yancey Strait, senior vice president at Alliant Capital and Hurst’s business partner. “The community’s exceptionally high occupancy rate enabled us to secure a low interest rate and offer the interest only loan option to our client, laying the groundwork for a successful transaction.”

Alliant Capital LLC Chicago completes refinance in touch Cedar Rapids, Iowa economy - Property location in submarket aids in securing refinance
CHICAGO – June 16, 2009 — Alliant Capital LLC, a leading debt and equity financier and Fannie Mae DUS® lender for the multifamily industry, today announces the $10.9 million refinance of Goldfinch Meadows, a 328-unit, phased community in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for a private investor. Alliant Capital refinanced the existing bank loan with a new 10-year fixed rate term at an interest rate of 5.66 percent on a non-recourse basis.
“The Cedar Rapids economy has been hit hard by the recession and is likely to underperform through 2010,” said Aaron Abelson, senior vice president of the Alliant Capital Chicago office. “However, despite the city’s poor outlook, the submarket is performing extremely well with apartment occupancy rates ranging from 94 to 99 percent. Because the submarket is maintaining a strong occupancy and experiencing stable or modest rent increases, we were able to secure a low rate for this repeat client’s refinance.”
As a two-phase property, construction on Goldfinch Meadows was started in 2004 and the second phase in 2006. The community offers 328 one- and two- bedroom units throughout 39, two-story buildings. Located in the southwest portion of Cedar Rapids, the neighboring area consists mostly of residential, industrial and agricultural. |

Alliant Capital LLC Completes Refinance of Peoria, Illinois Community - Strong occupancy in tough market improves transaction process
Stamford, Conn. – May 28, 2009 — Alliant Capital LLC, a leading debt and equity financier and Fannie Mae DUS® lender for the multifamily industry, today announces an $8.7 million refinance of The Grove of Peoria, a 318-unit garden style apartment community in Peoria, Ill. The DUS refinance includes a 5.39 percent interest rate, five-year term with four and a half year yield maintenance and a 75 percent loan to value ratio.
“The Grove of Peoria is an anomaly in the current Chicago market. With no population growth and an economy dealing with massive job losses, the area’s apartment market has taken a hit,” said John Marr, senior vice president of Alliant Capital’s Stamford office and originator of this transaction. “However, The Grove is highly competitive and was able to increase rents across the board in 2009. In today’s economy, this couldn’t have been a more straight forward and simple transaction.”
Located roughly midway between Chicago and St. Louis, Peoria’s market has remained steady in large part to its big city assets with small-town lifestyle. The area is home to Caterpillar which employs nearly 85,000 people worldwide and nearly 16,000 in the Peoria area and Bradley University which has a student population of approximately 20,000. The city is also home to five major hospitals and is the health care center for the region accounting for 25 percent of the area's economy. The Grove reports a stable occupancy history and has maintained its strongest rental rates during this difficult economy. As of March 25, 2009, the community reported a 93.1 percent occupancy rate, representing 22 vacant units, 14 notices to move and 18 deposits received, bringing the net occupancy rate to 94.3 percent.
The Grove of Peoria is a quiet, well maintained community with large, well appointed units offered at competitive rents. |

Alliant Capital LLC finalizes acquisition of manufactured housing community through dedicated client services - Transaction closed after long five month process
TUCSON, Arizona – May 19, 2009 — Alliant Capital, LLC, a leading debt and equity financier for the multifamily industry, today announces a $7 million acquisition of Mountain Meadows, a 186-unit manufactured housing community in Enumclaw, Wash. The deal, closed on behalf of The Desimone Family Irrevocable Trust, includes a 10-year term with three years interest-only, yield maintenance of nine and a half years and a 30-year amortization. This transaction posed several challenges to our origination team due to the complicated financing structure,” said Jay Blasberg, senior vice president of the Alliant Capital Tucson office. “However, our team was dedicated to successfully deliver on our commitment to the client, the seller and Fannie Mae. Through extensive negotiations and the use of multiple financing vehicles, we were able to facilitate an acceptable closing scenario for all the parties involved.” The initial purchase agreement for this complex transaction was signed on November 14, 2008 but was not closed until April 30, 2009. Over the course of the five months, Alliant Capital secured primary financing through its DUS status with Fannie Mae and the seller provided secondary financing, finalizing the purchase and satisfying the seller’s request for an installment sale. “The DUS program does not permit secondary financing going into any deal,” continued Blasberg. “It took a lot of support from the origination team to demonstrate to everyone the merits of the transaction and to pull all the divergent views together to be able to accomplish this structure.” The manufactured housing market of the Enumclaw area exhibits strong occupancy levels and shows an upward trend in rental rates. Absorption remains favorable and long-term projections show continued growth and effective rental increases. |
