NorthMarq handles financing solution via Freddie Mac for $5.54m refinance of Mill Falls Apartments

Lowell, MA Robert Ranieri, senior vice president/managing director of NorthMarq’s White Plains office, arranged the $5.54 million refinance of Mill Falls Apartments. The 72-unit multifamily property is located at East Merrimack St. and Pawtucket Blvd. 

The transaction was structured with a 10-year term on a 30-year amortization schedule. NorthMarq arranged the permanent-fixed loan for the borrower through its relationship with Freddie Mac.

The property features one and two-bedroom apartments with private balconies, on-site laundry facilities and ample parking. Mill Falls Apartments are located near Rte. 3, I-495, UMass and downtown as well as Lowell Heritage State Park and Shedd Park.

“The owners were looking to buy out an existing partner and take advantage of low rates today. Freddie Mac was able to provide ‘cash out’ funds to allow the buyout. This transaction was started during the COVID crisis but the owners were diligent in working with their tenants and there was no impact to collections as a result,” said Ranieri.

While power outages are often blamed on storms, they can also be caused by unforeseen events like accidents or construction mishaps. While it’s impossible to prevent disasters and power outages entirely, proactive preparation can significantly minimize their impact on your commercial building.

Long-term interest rates have fallen by 100 basis points, and the market is normalizing. In December of 2022 I wrote an article about investing in a high interest rate, high inflation market. Since then, inflation has cooled off, and the Fed has begun lowering their funds rate.
