Retreat at Windermere
Fannie Mae provided a seven-year, fixed-rate loan with full-term interest only for EPC’s acquisition of the 332-unit The Retreat at Windermere, which closed on October 28. 

Berkadia announced it has secured a combined total of over $100 million in financing on behalf of Eagle Property Capital (EPC), a private equity real estate firm based in Miami, Florida, for the acquisition of one multifamily property (The Retreat at Windermere) and the refinancing of another (Sunset Place), both located in Orlando, Florida.

Senior Managing Director Mitch Sinberg, Managing Directors Brad Williamson, Matthew Robbins and Scott Wadler, and Vice President of Originations Abigail Beauchamp of Berkadia Boca Raton and Miami secured the financing.

Eagle Property Capital is a real estate investment manager pursuing attractive risk-adjusted returns through a range of real estate equity solutions. Since 2015, Berkadia has provided over $850 million of financing for EPC to grow its portfolio of workforce housing communities in Texas and Florida.

“We’re pleased to support EPC’s continued growth in Orlando, a region that stands out for its strong market fundamentals and commercial real estate opportunities,” said Williamson. “EPC is a quality operator with a proven track record, and this loan allows them to strategically expand its footprint in one of Florida’s most dynamic markets. We took advantage of a rate-lock option through Fannie Mae, ensuring a stable, favorable financing structure.”

Units are available in eight distinct floor plans and two designer color palettes.
