Macon, GA – October 22, 2018 – UC Funds, a vertically-integrated commercial real estate specialty finance firm, recently announced the closing of a $5.3 million first mortgage loan to refinance three properties totaling 256 units in Macon, Georgia.
In January 2017, UC Funds provided a $4.5 million first mortgage loan to recapitalize the properties, curing deferred maintenance and bringing down units back online. The properties are now 96 percent occupied. This new $5.3 million loan will refinance the properties, providing the sponsors with a lower cost of capital and enabling them to reinvest cash flow into unit upgrades as they become available. The loan will also help fund parking lots and other exterior improvements.
UC GO, UC Funds’ newest commercial mortgage product, was integral in funding the transaction. Launched in 2017, the non-recourse bridge loan will enable the sponsor to continue property improvements and further boost occupancy. UC GO is the lowest rate, most competitive commercial mortgage product currently available in commercial real estate.
North Napier apartments, located at 4017 Napier Avenue, has 104 units contained within nine, two-story buildings. Vineville North Apartments, located at 3516 Vineville Avenue, consists of 80 units contained within 15, two-story buildings. Riverbend Apartments, located at 3645 Mercer University Drive, holds 72 units contained within nine, two-story buildings.
“The sponsors’ high occupancy rate shows that this portfolio is in demand from residents seeking workforce housing. Our loan will help them keep the apartments competitive to other complexes in the area with the new renovation program,” said Jeremy Ross, Chief Credit Officer at UC Funds. “Our expertise in multifamily, combined with the sponsors’ motivation and the assets’ central location will make this a profitable investment.”
