LEWISVILLE, TEXAS — An Advalurem Group venture has completed the refinancing of Bella Madera at Lake Lewisville, a 612-unit, Class A apartment community in Lewisville. Advalurem Group initially completed a joint venture equity investment with its partner, BRES, for Bella Madera in 2013. At the time of acquisition, the partnership assumed an existing first mortgage loan and secured preferred equity financing from a financial institution. At the current market value of $65.6 million, the venture refinanced the property concurrently with a recapitalization of the partnership by buying out the preferred equity partner. Built in 2009, Bella Madera at Lake Lewisville is 96 percent occupied.
