Walker & Dunlop Inc. have completed financing for the acquisition of Bellemeade Farms Apartments, a 316-unit multifamily community located in Leesburg, Va. Walker & Dunlop's Alexandra Huffman and Andrew Tapley led the team in arranging the $45,337,000 transaction on behalf of Capital Square 1031.
The origination team rate-locked a 10-year, fixed-rate loan, just one day after the application was completed. Also, the team assisted Capital Square 1031 in structuring its debt to accommodate the intricacies of the Delaware Statutory Trust structure, permitting investors to acquire interests in the property in a tax-deferred exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Bellemeade Farms Apartments is the tenth execution that Huffman and Tapley have originated for their longstanding client over the last three years, totaling over $200 million in agency debt.
"Walker & Dunlop has done a superb job of originating loans for Capital Square 1031. In spite of our fairly complex DST structures, Walker & Dunlop has performed at the highest level. We have been able to rate-lock early, obtain third-party reports, and close quickly and efficiently. Andrew and Alexandra have given us a competitive advantage amongst DST sponsors and have helped us to grow to over $1 billion of assets sponsored for the program," stated Louis Rogers, CEO of Capital Square 1031.
