Station 250, a 285-unit, class A apartment community in Dedham, that sold for $94.25 million in August, and Stoney Brook Village, a 202-unit value-add apartment community in Millis, that sold for $21 million in September, were both sold and financed by CBRE.
The deals were financed using CBRE's Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac lending platforms. For the Station 250 transaction, CBRE provided a $60 million Freddie Mac loan. Stoney Brook Village was financed for $17.83 million via CBRE's Fannie Mae DUS program.
"The integration of the multi-housing investment sales group and the financing team were on display during both these recent transactions," said John Kelly, vice president of CBRE's mortgage brokerage team.
