Gantry, Inc., the largest independent commercial mortgage banking firm in the U.S., has arranged $16,000,000 in permanent financing for Bollinger Crest Apartments in San Ramon, CA. The subject property is a 65-unit garden-style apartment complex consisting of three, three-story buildings and four non-residential buildings. At the time of financing, the property was 97% occupied.

Tom Dao, Senior Director and his team, Eric Von Berg, Principal, Jeff Matlock, Director, and Benjamin Johnson, Senior Associate in Gantry’s San Francisco, arranged the 30-year, fully-amortizing loan with the borrower. Dao notes, the Bollinger Crest financing was unique because the fixed-rate terms were longest available, and only offered by some insurance company lenders. However, the lender was impressed with the owner/manager, the property upkeep and the general vibrancy of the East Bay market, he added. The loan was structured as non-recourse, with a very competitive sub-4% rate.

“This loan met our expectations in every way, and Tom smoothed out the path to a timely and efficient loan execution. Working with a banker who listened to what we desired and understood our reasons for such requests, as well as working with a lender who recognized our value was the key to success for this transaction.” – Art Lorenzini and Ryan Lorenzini, Principals
