Newly constructed 161-unit mixed-use apartment complex in Philadelphia, PA Real Property Capital arranges $35 million for the refinance of The Fairmount at Brewerytown P hiladelphia, PA — Real Property Capital Inc. (RPC)

RPC approached a lender with whom we have a longstanding relationship who was able to offer a full term interest-only structure enabling the higher proceed level based on interest- only debt service coverage. This lender worked through complex issues involving a complex and unusual historic tax credit structure as well as open en- vironmental issues and closed the loan without a hitch. No other lender in the market was able to come close to what we accomplished and in fact, many lenders that we spoke with expressed skepticism or even outright shock over what we told them was the deal to beat. McSpain’s expectations in terms of loan proceeds and clos- ing speed were exceeded to say the least. n
