Clipper Realty Secures $82M For Brooklyn Heights Apartment
Walker & Dunlap identified MetLife Investment Management as the financing partner for the transaction.
BROOKLYN—Publicly-traded Clipper Realty has secured $82 million for Clover House, a newly renovated luxury apartment complex in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn.
Led by Hirsch Simins and David Rosenberg, Walker & Dunlop’s New Jersey Capital Markets team arranged the financing, identifying MetLife Investment Management as the financing partner for the transaction. In addition to rate locking the transaction on the same day as application, Walker & Dunlop helped to refinance the property’s existing debt, including ten years of interest-only payments.
“We explored many financing scenarios and MetLife was able to offer a very competitive permanent loan and rate lock before the asset was fully stabilized, which speaks to the strength of the borrower and the asset,” Simins said in prepared remarks.
The 158-unit property is situated close to the Brooklyn Heights Promenade and Brooklyn Bridge Park in downtown Brooklyn. The property is projected to be fully leased by the end of the year.
