DALLAS — JLL has provided Freddie Mac loans for four multifamily properties totaling 1,489 units north of Dallas. The new loans refinance acquisition loans the borrower, an affiliate of Orion Residential Advisors, originally received in 2016.
The properties in the portfolio are Orion McKinney, a 453-unit community located in McKinney; Orion McCord Park, a 416-unit community located in Little Elm; Orion Prosper, a 312-unit community in Prosper; and Orion Prosper Lakes, a 308-unit community, also located in Prosper. The assets were completed between 2008 and 2012 with an average unit size of 883 square feet across the portfolio. The properties feature communal amenities such as pools, fitness centers, outdoor entertaining areas and club rooms.
“The refinance was critical to our long-term strategic plan for the portfolio,” says Dan Gumbiner, Orion president and CEO. “We were determined to complete the transaction despite the current environment,” referring to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mona Carlton and Kristopher Lowe of JLL represented the borrower in the refinancing loan transaction. JLL also provided the acquisition loans that the new transaction refinances. HFF, a JLL company and Freddie Mac lender, will service all four loans, which feature 10-year terms and fixed interest rates.
Deerfield, Ill.-based Orion specializes in core-plus and value-add multifamily communities and has acquired $2.2 billion of residential real estate since 2004.
