Client Stories

Credit facility executions allow borrowers to arrange flexible financing terms for a portfolio of properties on a cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted basis, with property addition, property release, property substitution, and borrow-up capabilities for all asset classes. Kairos Investment Management Company and Berkadia secured a $175 million credit facility backed by Fannie Mae.

We recently partnered with Freddie Mac and Spira Equity Partners to help rehabilitate and preserve 392 units of affordable housing for the residents of Brittany Bay Apartments. Brittany Bay has the most units of any community in a High Opportunity Area that Freddie Mac has financed.

The Fairfield Affordable Housing Preservation Fund is focused on acquiring rent and income-regulated affordable housing assets in markets throughout the U.S. The Fund is Fairfield’s first affordable housing-focused investment vehicle open to third party investors and will leverage Fairfield’s 20-year history of investing and managing LIHTC multifamily assets. 

A lot with a vacant commercial building that’s fallen into disuse has been transformed into new housing for Los Angeles’ homeless community by development company and Berkadia partner, Aedis Real Estate Group. Berkadia originated $50 million in Freddie Mac’s TEL forward commitments that will finance Hope at Avalon, as well as two sister projects Hope on Broadway and Hope on Hyde Park.

JASA is a longtime Berkadia client and non-profit organization committed to the safety, health, and well-being of seniors. Recently, Berkadia financed $46M+ in loans for two JASA properties under the HUD 223(f) program. In addition to repairs and upgrades, the higher leveraged, low interest rate loans enabled JASA to allocate funds to programs benefiting their residents.
