East Boston, MA Hunt Mortgage Group, a leader in financing commercial real estate throughout the United States, provided a $4 million Freddie Mac Small Balance loan to refinance a mixed-use retail and multifamily property. Parkside Landing consists of 16 apartment units and one retail space contained in two, four-story apartment buildings.

The loan is 10-year fixed with 30-year amortization, after three years of interest only, and step-down prepayment schedule. The borrower is Parkside Landing Maverick, LLC, a Mass. limited liability company backed by three key principals with significant experience.

The deal was brokered by Tom Welch, Jeanette Gaede and John Poole of Colliers.

Parkside Landing consists of 650 s/f of retail space; one studio apartment; four one-bedroom, one-bathroom units; nine two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartments; and two three-bedroom, two-bathroom units with a total net rentable area of 14,106 s/f.

“The clients are repeat Freddie Mac and Hunt Mortgage Group customers,” said Hayley Suminski, vice president at Hunt Mortgage Group. “Late last year we financed Chelsea Street Apartments, a 12-unit multifamily property located in East Boston. Together, this group of borrowers have more than thirty years of experience in developing, owning and managing multifamily real estate.”

“Construction on Parkside Landing was completed in 2015 and the property is performing well with the current occupancy rate at 100%” said Suminski. “We were pleased to partner again with these experienced local investors on a deal in the heart of Boston.”

The property is located in the submarket known as East Boston, located one mile northeast of Boston’s central business district.
