Nickerson of NorthMarq Capital closes $10.8 million refinance for 68-unit property

Doug Nickerson, vice president of NorthMarq Capital's Boston regional office arranged the $10.8 million refinance for Birchwood Hills Apartments, a 68-unit multifamily property. The transaction was structured with a 7-year term and 25-year amortization schedule and was arranged for the borrower, Birchwood Hills Corp. by NorthMarq through its seller/servicer relationship with Freddie Mac. "Freddie Mac beat out significant competition on this transaction. They priced the loan aggressively based on an existing relationship with the borrower, proactive property management and superior asset quality," said Nickerson.

With more than $10 billion in annual production volume and servicing a loan portfolio of more than $42 billion, the company offers expertise to borrowers of all size.

In addition, NorthMarq has long loan production and loan servicing relationships with more than 50 life companies, many CMBS platforms and hundreds of local, regional and national banks.
