Seattle, WA – June 4, 2018 — CBRE Affordable Housing has arranged the sale and financing of Ventana, a 171-unit affordable multifamily property in Kent, Washington, for $18.85 million to Peak Capital Partners.
Tim Flint, Senior Vice President at CBRE Affordable Housing, represented the seller in the transaction, Ridgeview Partners LP. Jim Flinn, Senior Vice President of CBRE Affordable Housing’s Debt and Structured Finance team, secured $15.1 million in acquisition financing with a 10-year floating rate loan provided by Freddie Mac.
“Peak Capital was looking for pre-payment flexibility and we were able to provide that with an attractive Freddie Mac ten-year adjustable rate mortgage that will be open to prepayment after just one year at 1%,” stated Flinn.
All of Ventana’s units are kept affordable by a Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) regulatory agreement that limits renters to incomes below 60% of the Area Median Income. Ventana offers amenities such as an Olympic-sized swimming pool, fitness center and BBQ/picnic areas, as well as studio, one and two-bedroom floorplans to its residents. The property is centrally located in the dynamic Kent Valley, one of the fastest growing cities in the Seattle metro area. Job growth in Kent is projected to grow more than 38% in the next 10 years.
“Kent and its surrounding areas continue to be a focal point for multifamily investors,” said Flint, “especially when it comes to affordable housing.”
