ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Pembrook Capital Management LLC ("Pembrook") closed $20.5 million of financing for the acquisition of Silver Oaks Apartments, a 320-unit rental apartment complex for low and moderate income families located in Orlando, FL and for the renovation of 115 units at the property over the next two years. The financing consists of a $17.0 million first mortgage bridge loan and a $3.5 million preferred equity investment.
"Pembrook specializes in customized financing to deliver the right capital stack for our borrowers," said Stuart J. Boesky, CEO of Pembrook. "In this case Pembrook was able to provide two layers of financing to help the sponsor acquire this property and undertake improvements to add value. Having discretionary capital allows us to structure complex financing solutions in the current lending environment in which other lenders are not in a position to provide flexibility or sufficient proceeds to support a business plan of this nature, which in part, includes providing quality affordable housing to families."
Silver Oaks Apartments consists of 215 two-bedroom units and 105 one-bedroom units, comprising 306,298 rentable square feet in total. The sponsor, an experienced investor with a substantial track record of acquiring and renovating undervalued properties, plans to improve the interiors of 115 apartments by replacing appliances, fixtures, flooring and carpeting, lighting and electrical, and applying new paint. Other units have been updated previously. Additionally, the renovation plan calls for exterior improvements to buildings, swimming pools, and club house. The fitness center will be expanded and improved to provide more light and a view of the pool.
Terry Baydala, Managing Director, Originations, added, "We were able to close the loan and preferred equity investment within 30 days of signing the contract. The transaction had a very tight timeline as the developer had an expiring contract and significant deposit money at risk. We believe the property has intrinsic value and potential; we came to that conclusion quickly."
