Gantry, the largest independent commercial mortgage banking firm in the U.S., has secured $3.60 million in permanent financing for two adjacent affordable housing apartment properties located in Pullman, WA. With a total of 77 residential units and qualified for low income housing tax credits, these types of properties can propose multiple challenges to lenders, which would require a more specialized approach.

Demetri Koston, Principal, with Gantry’s Spokane office, arranged the financing on behalf of the borrower exclusively. The loan terms include a 10-year fixed-rate with a 30-year amortization, 80% LTV, and a favorable prepayment structure. Mr. Koston was able to identify a very competitive lender within the category and coordinated a timely closing within the time frame of the acquisition.
