Berkadia announces it has arranged the sale and financing of Topaz Villas, a 444-unit multifamily community in Jacksonville, Florida. Director Greg Rainey of Berkadia Jacksonville, along with his team, arranged the sale on behalf of the sellers, Topaz Capital Group and The Lynd Company. Senior Managing Director Mitch Sinberg, Managing Director Brad Williamson and Associate Director Wesley Moczul of Berkadia Florida arranged the financing on behalf of ROI Capital Group, which acquired the property for $66 million with a $53 million loan. Topaz Villas will be rebranded by new ownership immediately upon takeover of the asset.
The lender, Voya Investment Management, provided the full-term, three-year, floating-rate loan with extension options and interest only. The loan includes $47.72 million in initial funding and $5.28 million in future funding for capital improvements.
“Topaz Villas is yet another great example of the continued investor appetite for well-located assets in Jacksonville. We are excited to execute for our Seller in a fluid market and can’t wait to see what improvements the Buyer has in store for the community,” said Rainey.
“Located in the heart of Jacksonville, Topaz Villas is well positioned for growth and offers immediate access to an abundance of local shopping, dining and entertainment that will attract and accommodate the growing tenant base,” added Williamson.
