Meridian Capital Group, America’s most active dealmaker, arranged $53 million in financing for a multifamily property in Hamden, CT.
The 10-year loan features a fixed rate that was locked at an exceptionally favorable spread of 1.58 percent and benefits from five years of interest-only payments followed by a 30-year amortization schedule. This transaction was negotiated by Meridian Managing Director, Shaya Ackerman, and Senior Vice President, Shaya Sonnenschein, who are both based in the company’s New York City headquarters. A representative for the Sponsor, GM Equities, said, “Another successful deal by a great team.”
Located at 676 Mix Avenue, Broadmoor Apartments consists of 468 studio, one-, and two-bedroom units spread across six, six-story buildings.
