SAN DIEGO — Berkeley Point Capital has provided a $52.4 million multifamily affordable housing refinancing for Lantana Hills Apartment Homes in San Diego. The borrow is an affiliate of the Convermat Corp.
Lantana Hills Apartments Homes was built in two phases with 300 units constructed in 1955 and the remaining 80 units constructed in 1986. The complex comprises one- and two-bedroom apartments, 23 acres of landscaping and parks, two swimming pools, a newly remodeled fitness center, and garage and surface parking.
The new loan, provided via Fannie Mae’s Affordable Housing Group, features a 12-year term with eight years of interest-only payments. The financing was used to retire tax-exempt, variable-rate bonds totaling $37.5 million that were issued by the City of San Diego in 2004.
The complex underwent a $5.9 million in renovations between 2014 and 2017 that included new wood flooring, quartz kitchen countertops, new kitchen appliances and accessories, while also becoming a pet-friendly community. The borrower plans on spending an additional $1.4 million in capital expenditures in 2018.
Mitch Clarfield of Berkeley Point’s Santa Monica, Calif., office facilitated the loan for the borrower.
