ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, ILL. — Ready Capital has closed a $12 million loan for the acquisition and deconversion of a 72-unit, Class B condominium property in the Chicago suburb of Arlington Heights. The undisclosed buyer will deconvert the units and lease the property as traditional multifamily space. The nonrecourse loan features a floating rate and a two-year term.

Sellers then have the option to either move out of their units or lease them back from the new owner.
