Millennials vs. Boomers: Tailoring Multifamily Homes to Today’s Twin Targets W David Wolf hat do Millennials, the laidback digi- tal natives dubbed “Generation Me” by social sci- entists, have in common with the driven, disciplined Baby Boomers who spawned them? Quite a bit when it comes to lifestyles. As Boomers downsize and Millennials finally enter the real estate market, both generations are gravitating to- wards the same type of housing: multifamily homes in vibrant urban areas. Ironically, Boomers are opt- ing out of large, high-mainte- nance homes at the same time their budget-conscious Millen- nial children are finally buying first residences. Both genera- tions want smaller dwellings in culturally rich cities and suburbs, with restaurants, shopping, services, entertain- ment and public transporta- tion nearby, notes realtor.com. Multifamily condos fill the bill for both groups. Yet while each generation has broad similarities, they

also have distinct differences. Since both cohorts dominate the multifamily housing mar- ket at the moment, notes the National Association of Realtor, builders and developers need to be spot-on in the multifamily housing they target to either age group, and strike an in- spired balance of features and amenities in those designed to appeal to both. Easier said than done? Not in the age of big data. From the analytics-driven research we do at ON Collaborative to understand what resonates with each market segment, it means taking a deep-dive into each generation’s wants and needs to develop hyper-local business plans that maximize each project’s sales velocity

and price. Here are the most salient issues multifamily developers must keep in mind as they de- sign and build their offerings. Know Each Generation’s Pleasure and Pain Points Each generation places dif- ferent demands on multifamily developments. It’s more than a matter of tweaking unit size or making interior design features, common spaces and amenities as impartial as pos- sible. It’s critical to assess what each cohort needs and develop a site-specific mix of elements for each project. To date, multifamily develop- ers have relied on snazzy Wi-Fi lounges, complimentary gour- met coffee bars and lush com- continued on page 26A

By Reilly Noetzel, Barley Snyder Five commercial real estate due diligence considerations you may be forgetting

additional land development and permitting requirements. These overlays may increase a buyer’s requirements or impose additional conditions related to the subdivision and land development approval process. 4. Condominium and Planned Community Con- cerns. A property often is subject to a condominium or planned community dec- laration. Some hallmarks of these ownership structures include common areas shared by owners of each property within the condominium or

planned community, as well as unit owners’ associations charged with administering the properties and enforc- ing any regulations. It is important to review any dec- larations (and accompanying plats) affecting the property to determine the obligations of each owner within the com- munity containing the prop- erty. Ask about items like signage permission, shared access, parking and potential amendments or additions to the planned community or condominium. 5. Leases. A lease encum- bering a property can be a due diligence nightmare. Leases often contain hidden clauses and rights. A tenant’s right of first refusal could be det- rimental for a buyer in any transaction, especially if the right is initially undisclosed and the tenant later refuses to consent to a waiver of that right. It is important to obtain an estoppel certificate from any tenant at the property you are purchasing. These certificates help to ensure the lease you are assuming is valid and enforceable. In the event that a buyer is obtain- ing financing for its purchase, a tenant, in connection with an estoppel certificate, may also request a subordination and non-disturbance agree- ment (SNDA). SNDAs subor- dinate the tenant’s leasehold interest to the buyer’s mort- gage, but assure the tenant will not be “disturbed” in its occupancy of the property in the event of a foreclosure of the mortgage. These items require additional negotia- tion, so be sure to adequately review them during any due diligence phase. In order to review any of these due diligence items, it is important at the outset of a transaction to ensure the seller discloses all available information and documenta- tion related to the property. Additional investigation may include searching the local re- corder of deed’s office, obtain- ing a zoning compliance letter or engaging an appraiser to appraise the property. Reilly Noetzel is an as- sociate in Barley Sny- der’s Lancaster, PA office, whose practice includes both real estate and con- struction. Contact him at rnoetzel@barley.com or at 717-399-1561. n

he due diligence phase is crucial to any real estate transaction.

can create an opportunity for a reduction in purchase price or additional purchase incentives. Here are five due diligence items to consider: 1. Access. Consider wheth- er the property you are pur- chasing has sufficient legal access. Some easements and access agreements may not be recorded, in which case it is important to speak with the sellers regarding the property’s current access ar- rangements. 2. Stormwater Manage- ment. Storm water manage- ment facilities may implicate

various maintenance and repair obligations set by state environmental agencies. In Pennsylvania, the existence of a property’s post-construc- tion stormwater management facility could mean numerous state maintenance obliga- tions, as well as specific notice and consent requirements for subsequent property trans- fers. 3. Zoning Overlays. Al- though a property’s zoning classification is a common due diligence consideration, municipalities often enact overlay zones which impose

due to the smaller size – yet it’s still a critical component of the capital stack,” said Rob Russell , Head of CMBS produc- tion at Greystone. “Combining the flexibility of CMBS with Greystone’s capabilities to ex- ecute mezzanine financing for our clients make this a game- changing loan product.” In other Greystone news, Ken Rogozinski has joined Greystone Bassuk , one of its real estate advisory companies, as an executive managing direc- tor. In this newly created role, Rogozinski will help expand Greystone Bassuk’s Agency

origination capabilities with a focus on developing cutting- edge solutions for the group’s large and sophisticated client base. In addition, Rogozinski will also help build structured debt products and complex, spe- cialized financing solutions for real estate owners and devel- opers seeking debt and equity for construction and portfolio refinancing of multifamily and mixed-use assets. Rogozinski was most recently chief credit officer and a co- founder of Dreadnought Capital Management, an SEC regis- tered investment advisor. n

ment and advisory company, announced it has provided $54.24 million in HUD-insured mortgage loans to refinance two skilled nursing facilities in Queens, NY. The separate transactions were originated by Fred Levine , managing director in Greystone’s Monsey office. Brookhaven Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center in Far Rockaway and Cypress Garden Center for Nursing & Rehabili- tation in Flushing received 30- year self-amortizing FHA loans at low, fixed rates. Brookhaven Rehab, a 298-bed facility refinanced for $21.92 million. Cypress Garden is a 278-bed facility refinanced for $32.32 million. Both facilities are part of the SentosaCare network. “I always appreciate the confidence and certainty of execution with which Greystone shepherds us through the HUD loan process. It’s been a pleasure to secure long-term permanent financing for a growing portfolio of assets and being able to focus on the resident experience,” said Ben Philipson of SentosaCare. “Brookhaven Rehab and Cy- press Garden are both unique facilities in that they are quite large, but also very special- ized and personable for each of their focused resident groups, whether it is for nutrition or palliative care or a culturally accommodating environment,” said Levine. “By securing this long-term financing for both facilities, the borrowers can continue to invest in them for the benefit of the residents and continue to provide services that are in great need for the Queens community.” Greystone has launched a CMBS mezzanine loan plat- form to complement its exist- ing CMBS platform. The new mezzanine loan product is intended to accompany a newly- originated CMBS first mortgage loan from Greystone. Terms for Greystone CMBS mezzanine loans include: • Loan size of $500,000 to $5 million • 5- and 10-year terms; same as first mortgage • 75-85% LTV • Interest-only, or consistent with senior mortgage loan • 12-15% coupon varying with LTV, DSCR, market and

This pullback has created even more demand for private lenders to originate loans, particularly for transitional assets and those nearing sta- bilization. In response to the needs of clients and market conditions, Case Real Estate Capital, LLC (Case) recently introduced a small loan program that originates lower-interest loans in the $2 million to $8 million range for properties nearing stabilization. This ‘bridge light’ small loan program cov-

ers all asset types, including office, retail, industrial, manu- facturing, hospitality, self- storage and selected entitled land. Typically, these loans will have an initial term of one to two years with extension op- tions of up to two years. Case’s goal, with all of its lending, is to create additional profit op- portunities for property own- ers and developers. Case’s areas of interest – New York metro area, Mid- Atlantic region and Florida – have performed well in the decade since the financial crisis peak of 2007 and are

driving lend- ers to pres- ent aggres- s i ve t e rms and respond to the needs o f o wn e r s and develop- ers when vy- ing for deals

throughout the New York metropolitan area, the Mid- Atlantic region and Florida. This liquidity exists at all pric- ing and lending levels.

L ender ’ s D irectory Smith, Riordan, and Efron led the team in transaction Walker & Dunlop’s new High-Yield Lending Group closes $29.4 million in financing

ethesda, MD — Walker & Dunlop, Inc. announced today that it closed $29.4 million in fi- nancing for Copper Cove Vil- lage and The Falls, two unaf- filiated class A multifamily projects located in Plymouth, Massachusetts and Hudson, New York, respectively. The transactions were closed by Walker & Dunlop Commer- cial Property Funding, LLC (WDCPF ) , the New York City- based, wholly owned high-yield first mortgage and mezzanine lending platform of Walker & Dunlop, Inc., which pro- B

vides funding on investments collateralized by multifam- ily, commercial, hospitality and healthcare related real estate assets. The program capitalizes both stabilized and transitional assets across all property types in the United States. Copper Cove Village and The Falls are unique projects with similar characteristics; each had less than 80% of construction completed and needed rescue capital to finish the projects. Additionally, with Copper Cove located in Plym- outh and The Falls in Hudson,

both are located in secondary markets approximately 40 miles from the nearest major metropolitan areas of Boston, Massachusetts and Albany, New York, respectively. WD- CPF refinanced the existing construction loans in addition to 100 percent of the remaining construction costs needed to complete the projects. Geoff Smith, Kimberly Riordan , and Randy Efron led the team at Walker & Dunlop. Smith said, “The lack of directly comparable proper- ties of similar quality created a challenge in determining both current and stabilized prop- erty valuations. Fortunately, in both instances the quality of construction and the local market desire for new, Class A housing provided us with the comfort to finance the last stage of the projects.” Upon stabilization, the team expects both properties to be refi- nanced via Fannie Mae and/ or Freddie Mac ’s permanent loan programs. Once complete, both Copper Cove Village and The Falls will feature attractive on-site amenities, such as fitness cen- ters and activity areas. Copper Cove Village, a 42-unit luxury multifamily community, is located on 1.6 acres across the street from the waterfront in historic Plymouth Harbor. Residents will benefit from unrivaled coastal views and ac- cess to nearby attractions such as retail shops, golf courses, boat marinas, beaches, and bike trails. The property is comprised of three buildings with six one-bedroom units and 36 two-bedroom units. Transformed from a historic building into luxury living, The Falls is a 116-unit multifamily community with deep-rooted ties to the Hudson community. Located on a 20-acre site, the property is comprised of a three-wing apartment build- ing and 116 one-, two- and three-bedroomunits. The main lobby, central corridor, and the renovated former Greenpoint Elementary School provide space for expansive common area amenities to include an event venue in the former gym- nasium, commercial offices, and retail. The Falls enjoys a prime location, within walking distance of the Warren Street downtown commercial district, and is less than a mile fromCo- lumbiaMemorial Health in the heart of the Hudson Valley. n

NORFOLK, VA — Grand- bridge Real Estate Capital recently closed a $5.8 million first mortgage loan secured by 77,926 s/f industrial facility in Bessemer, AL. Norfolk based senior vice president Victor Pickett originated the trans- action for a repeat client. Funding for the fixed rate loan was provided by one

of Grandbridge’s insurance company correspondents and featured a 12-year term, 12- year amortization, and closed with a fixed interest rate in the low three percent range. “To win this loan the lender offered flexible prepayment, with no prepayment cost in the last 24 months of the loan to exit,” said Pickett. n CBRE brokers sale &arranges financing for Forks Town center in Easton, PA Easton, Pa — CBRE has successfully arranged for the sale and acquisition financ- ing of Forks Town Center, a 100,250 s/f shopping center located at 301 Town Center Blvd. in Easton, Northampton County. CBRE’s Brad Nathanson and John Colussi negotiated on behalf of the seller, Re- tail Properties of America, Inc. (RPAI) and identified the buyer, a joint venture between Triple Crown Corporation and J.C. BAR Properties Inc. CBRE’s Thomas Gor- man , senior vice president of Debt & Structured Finance, procured $18 million in financ- ing on behalf of the buyer. Built in 2002, Forks Town Center is located in the heart of the Lehigh Valley, approxi- mately 60 minutes north of Philadelphia and 90 minutes west of New York City. Within five miles of the shopping cen- ter there are over 120,000 resi- dents and average household incomes are nearly $79,000. The shopping center was 98 percent occupied at the time of sale and is anchored by a 66,792 s/f Giant Food Store with contiguous shop space and two pad sites leased by PNC Bank and Dunkin’ Donuts. Nathanson said “With the primary demand today being in grocery-anchored neigh- borhood shopping centers, investors are flocking to the market leader as an anchor as a flight to safety. With Gi- ant’s leading market share, Forks Town Center was highly demanded nationally given its prominence in an expand- ing submarket as the Lehigh Valley.” n
