SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Arbor Commercial Mortgage has funded its first loan under the newly launched Freddie Mac Small Balance Loan initiative for Nettleton Commons, a mixed-use property located in Syracuse. Originally built in 1899 as a shoe factory, the property was converted into a multifamily building in 1988. The five-story property features 61 apartment units, nine commercial office spaces and one retail space. Stephen York originated the five-year $4 million loan, which carries one year of interest-only payments along with a 30-year amortization schedule. Eastern Union was the mortgage brokerage firm involved in the deal. The property is owned and managed by Steven and Silvia West, who purchased the property in 2007.
