Hunt Mortgage Provides $12M Fannie Mae Loan for Affordable Housing Community in Dallas

DALLAS — Hunt Mortgage Group has provided a $12 million Fannie Mae loan for the refinancing of Cornerstone Apartments, a 240-unit affordable housing community in Dallas. Situated at 2606 Community Drive and 9709 and 9720 Starlight Road, Cornerstone was built in three phases between 1968 and 1976. Two of the phases were redeveloped in 1992 and 1995 through the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program. The third phase comprises 38 market-rate apartment units without affordability restrictions. Community amenities include an on-site management/leasing office, four laundry rooms, a swimming pool and playground. Dallas-based Churchill Capital arranged the 12-year loan with a 30-year amortization schedule on behalf of the borrower, JAG CA Re-Development LLC, an entity backed by James E. Graham Jr. The company has invested $2 million in capital improvements to Cornerstone Apartments since taking over ownership, bringing the occupancy up from 70 percent to above 90 percent as of loan closing, according to Churchill Capital.
