Hunt Mortgage Group Refinances a Multifamily Property Located in Houston, Texas

NEW YORK, Nov. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Hunt Mortgage Group, a leader in financing commercial real estate throughout the United States, announced today it has provided an $11.15 million Fannie Mae conventional mortgage to refinance Pine Creek Apartments, a 300-unit multifamily community located in Houston. The sponsor is Elandis, who acquired the property in February 2016.

"The borrower is a seasoned commercial real estate investor with a proven track record in real estate ownership, development and property management," noted Keith Morris, Vice President in the Atlanta office of Hunt Mortgage Group. "This refinance comes on the heels of a successful 17-month repositioning of the asset by Elandis."

"This financing is a testament to the value added to the asset in a matter of months through the dedication and hard work of our property management team. The Elandis philosophy is always to improve and enhance both the property and the living experience of our communities. We continue to look for new opportunities to do this," commented Ted Lawson, Chief Operating Officer at Elandis.

The demand for workforce housing continues to increase in the U.S., especially in the Sun Belt states which are experiencing favorable job growth and increasing urbanization.

"Elandis is a new Hunt Mortgage Group customer that is actively looking for strategic opportunities to acquire, renovate and improve multifamily properties to offer quality housing to local residents in the markets in which they operate," added Morris. "We were pleased to provide this loan to a quality sponsor."

The firm's strategy includes the acquisition and repositioning of Class C workforce multi-family developments into Class B properties in markets that have a favorable economic performance – and that are experiencing job growth opportunities, have a strong demand for workforce housing and a growing population. Elandis has acquired and transformed 2,600 multi-family units, 22 hotels, 11 commercial assets and several development projects, primarily across the Americas.

In the wake of Hurricane Harvey's landfall on the Texas coast, Pine Creek Apartments sustained no flooding to unit interiors. Property amenities include two outdoor swimming pools, a playground, three laundry facilities, a sport court, and clubhouse/leasing office.
