Newmark has announced the $54.8 million Freddie Mac refinancing of Nob Hill Apartments in Houston. The financing effort was led by Multifamily Capital Markets Executive Managing Director Matt Greer of the firm’s Austin office on behalf of repeat Newmark and Freddie Mac client, Steadfast Companies.
“Completing this loan during the current pandemic is a testament to the teams at Steadfast and Freddie Mac,” said Greer. “Nob Hill provides over 1,300 units of workforce housing, which is more critical now than ever. Recognizing this, Freddie Mac stepped up to the plate as a trusted lending partner.”
Constructed in 1967, Nob Hill consists of four phases, operated as one complex comprising 1,326 units. The garden-style property offers newly renovated one- and two-bedroom floorplans. Apartments feature open living areas with shaker-style cabinets, granite-style counter tops, modern appliances, over-sized closets, a private patio or balcony and reserved covered parking. The pet-friendly, gated community offers a New Orleans architectural style surrounded by lush courtyards, nine resort-style pools and a resident business center and clubhouse. Located at 5410 N Braeswood Boulevard, the property is situated within a prestigious area of Houston and is located next to the Brays Bayou Greenway Trail and near the Meyerland Plaza, among other entertainment, sporting and dining facilities. Residents enjoy easy access to the Metro bus line and 610 Loop for convenient commuting.
According to Newmark’s Houston Multifamily Capital Markets group, the Houston multifamily market has experienced rental rate growth of 43% since 2008. Current occupancies for all classes of multifamily product in Houston are in-line with their respective 10-year averages.
