LOS ANGELES – PGIM Real Estate has arranged a $482 million Fannie Mae credit facility collateralized by six multifamily properties located on the West Coast. The loan has a 10-year interest-only term. PGIM Real Estate is the real estate investment and financing business of PGIM, the $1.4 trillion global investment management businesses of Prudential Financial, Inc.
Owned and operated by The Sobrato Organization, the six properties feature a total of 1,223 multifamily units, in addition to one office tenant and four retail tenants. Four of the six properties are located in the San Francisco Bay Area and the other two are in Seattle. “This was an important transaction for us,” said Wes Gardiner, senior vice president and head of multifamily at The Sobrato Organization. “Credit goes to the teams at PGIM Real Estate and Fannie Mae, who worked hard to bring it to a successful conclusion, despite the unusual operating environment.”
“We were thrilled to have the opportunity to work with an existing PGIM Real Estate and Fannie Mae client on the refinancing of a credit facility,” said Jaime Zadra, managing director and head of West Coast originations for PGIM Real Estate. “We were able to navigate uncertain market conditions and the many complexities associated with a transaction of this magnitude to ensure a successful refinancing with favorable terms for our client.”
Zadra led the transaction with her team of Elizabeth Velazquez, executive director, and Robel Abdella, senior investment analyst, alongside Laura Eckhardt, head of structured transactions for PGIM Real Estate’s Agency lending business.
The assets are located in sought-after infill locations with high average asking rents, tight vacancy and positive absorption rates, and historically healthy rent growth. The Bay Area and Seattle each demonstrate favorable demographic trends, with strong median household incomes, proximity to major employment nodes, and access to amenities in San Francisco, San Jose and Seattle.
