Ziegler And M&T Realty Capital Partner On Fannie Mae Refinancing Of 55+ Age-Restricted Independent Living Community | $4,370,000

CHICAGO, June 16, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Ziegler, a specialty investment bank, in partnership with M&T Realty Capital Corporation (M&T), is pleased to announce its role as financial advisor in a $4,370,000 Fannie Mae refinancing on behalf of Essex Communities to refinance the existing debt on The Regency, a 55+ age-restricted independent living community in Kearney, Nebraska.

The 10-year, fixed-rate loan was structured at 75% loan-to-value with 2 years of interest only payments, followed by 30 years of amortization. The loan also carried a declining prepayment schedule, which will provide the Borrower with additional flexibility in future years. The deal was originally quoted to include a COVID-19 debt service reserve escrow, which was later waived prior to loan's final approval. The Fannie Mae loan reimbursed the Borrower for capital expenditure investments and provided equity-out to assist the company's growth strategy.

M&T has been a Fannie Mae-approved Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (DUS®) lender since 1989 and was ranked a Top-5 Fannie Mae Seniors Housing DUS Producer in 2018 and 2019. Director Eric Johnson led the transaction for Ziegler from the company's Denver, CO office. Managing Director Steven Muth and Seniors Housing Program Manager Matthew Pipitone led the transaction for M&T. This is the second Fannie Mae financing that the team has completed with Essex in 2021.
