The Colliers team of co-chairman Kevin Phelan and associate Sean Burke arranged the financing on behalf of The Driscoll Co. The lender, Principal Real Estate Investors, provided the low leverage, long-term fixed rate financing, allowing The Driscoll Co. to refinance its existing debt while interest rates remain competitively low. The interest rate was locked in advance of closing, allowing ownership to avoid rising rates during the closing process.  

“The financing provides flexibility and a competitive structure that met all of our client’s needs,” said Phelan. “Briarwood Meadows is an exceptional multifamily community and The Driscoll Company has done a great job operating and maintaining the asset. “We are extremely pleased with the outcome.”
