NEW YORK CITY — Walker & Dunlop has provided a $35.6 million Fannie Mae loan for the refinancing of a portfolio of eight affordable housing buildings totaling 251 units in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood. Frank Cassidy and John Gilmore of Walker & Dunlop worked alongside New York City Housing Preservation & Development and the New York City Housing Authority to secure the financing, which was structured with a fixed interest rate, 35-year amortization schedule and five years of interest-only payments. The borrower, Grower Housing Development Fund Corp., will use $8 million of the proceeds to fund capital improvements and preserve the portfolio’s affordability status.
