“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.”
