Aaron Moll of Berkadia Student Housing and Cody Kirkpatrick, Noam Franklin, Chinmay Bhatt and Matthew Tu of Berkadia Joint Venture Equity & Structured Capital arranged the loan from PIMCO, on behalf of HH Fund, a vertically integrated off-campus student housing owner/operator based out of Silver Spring, Maryland.
