CHICAGO – Jeff Frankel, senior vice president and senior director of NorthMarq’s Chicago regional office, and Charlie Robinson, senior vice president and senior director of NorthMarq’s Dallas regional office, cooperated to arrange first mortgage refinancing of $23.25 million for Woodlake Apartments, a 260-unit, market-rate multifamily property located at 101 Woodlake Boulevard in Gurnee, Illinois. Financing was based on a 5-year term with the first 30 months interest only then a 25-year amortization schedule. NorthMarq arranged this financing for the borrower through its relationship with a correspondent life company lender.
“The lender locked in the interest rate for 7 months without any rate premium,” Frankel said. “This allowed the borrower to take advantage of low rates and obtain a loan commitment well in advance of their open par prepayment window with the existing lender.”
