Size (square footage/acreage): 648-unit, garden-style apartment complex Broker(s): Originated by Brian Sykes, vice president based out of the Boston, MA office Beech Street provided a $32 million Fannie Mae structured adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) to refinance Christiana Meadows, which enabled the owner to approximate the net cash flow made possible by its tax- exempt floating rate bonds. The structured ARM, par- ticularly its initial pay rate, provided a better alternative than a fixed-rate loan or turning to a new LIBOR-based floating rate mortgage in hopes that rates would remain low. To further enhance the net cash flow, Beech Street provided four years of interest-only on the 10-year loan, since the monthly amortization payments are less under the structured ARM than a floating-rate note.
