Walker & Dunlop Secures a $37 Million Loan for Luxury Multifamily Property in Mountain Brook, Alabama

Bethesda, Maryland – November 3, 2016

Walker & Dunlop, Inc. (NYSE: WD) announced today that it structured a $37,000,000 loan with Northwestern Mutual for Lane Parke Apartments, a Class A, rental community in Mountain Brook, Alabama.

Walker & Dunlop Managing Director of Multifamily Finance, Will Baker, and Vice President of Capital Markets, Hagan Dick, led the origination team, which arranged the 10-year, full term, interest-only loan for JLL Income Property Trust. Deal terms included a loan-to-value of 50 percent and debt service coverage ratio in excess of 3.0x. The iconic property was originally sold to JLL Income Property Trust via Walker & Dunlop’s Investment Sales team on May 31, 2016 in an all-cash transaction.

Mr. Dick commented, “It was a privilege to work on such a unique and high quality asset with groups as experienced and talented as JLL Income Property Trust and Northwestern Mutual.” He added, “Given the outstanding demographics and high barriers to entry that exist within Mountain Brook, Alabama, we were very pleased with how the market responded to this opportunity.”

Mr. Baker added, “This was an outstanding investment opportunity for JLL Income Property Trust given the recent growth in the Birmingham market. Lane Parke Apartments is well positioned to take advantage of the growth in the University of Alabama at Birmingham market as well as the recent retail developments in the Mountain Brook Village area. This is one of the most ideally located multifamily assets in town, given its walkability to schools, retail, restaurants, and recreational amenities.”

Lane Parke Apartments, built in 2014, is a brand new, upscale apartment community located in the historic and affluent city of Mountain Brook, Alabama. The 276-unit property is the only Class A multifamily property in the area, and is part of the larger Lane Parke development, which includes over 117,000 square feet of high-end retail and the exclusive Bohemian Hotel.
