CHICAGO — Aries Capital has secured a $5 million CMBS loan for a nine-property, multifamily portfolio on Chicago’s South Side. The 10-year loan features a 30-year amortization schedule and a 75 percent loan-to-value ratio. The sponsor of the transaction, an affiliate of McKenzie Management, has been acquiring and renovating properties on the South Side of Chicago for the past eight years. By refinancing the properties, McKenzie Management was able to free up its bank lines and personal guaranties, enabling the company to acquire additional properties and grow its portfolio. McKenzie is a full-service property management company focusing on residential and retail properties.
