</p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Cushman &amp; Wakefield announced today that the firm&#39;s Texas Equity, Debt &amp; Structured Finance (EDSF) team arranged $95.74 million in total financing for a 626-unit, two-property multifamily portfolio on behalf of borrower Sundance Bay. The financing package consists of $76.24 million in senior debt provided by Benefit Street Partners and a $19.5 million mezzanine loan through CCL Capital.

</p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
The portfolio includes Grove East, a 324-unit Class A garden-style community built in 2021 and located at 9300 N. Sam Houston Pkwy E. in Humble, Texas, and Rowlett Station, a 302-unit Class A mid-rise community also built in 2021 and located at 3601 Melcer Drive in Rowlett, Texas. Both properties were subject to Housing Finance Corporation (HFC) income restrictions, which added a layer of regulatory complexity to the transaction and required coordination across both the senior and mezzanine loan components simultaneously.

</p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Chase Johnson, Managing Director, and Caleb Riebe, Senior Associate, led the EDSF team on the transaction.

</p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
The team received support from Cushman &amp; Wakefield&#39;s Houston Multifamily Advisory Group, led by Jennifer Campbell and Josh Hoffman, on Grove East, and from the Dallas-Fort Worth Multifamily Advisory Group, led by Grant Raymond and Asher Hall, on Rowlett Station, and Richard Kourbage of Greystone.

</p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
"This was one of the more structurally involved deals we&#39;ve worked through in recent memory," said Johnson. "Between the HFC consent requirements on both assets, bifurcating the capital stack across a senior lender and a mezz lender simultaneously, and doing all of it in a complex credit environment, there were a lot of moving parts. Sundance Bay was a great partner throughout the process, and we&#39;re proud of the execution."

</p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Grove East sits adjacent to Houston&#39;s Generation Park, a 4,300-acre master-planned development that anchors one of the region&#39;s fastest-growing employment corridors. The property was 93% occupied at closing and carries meaningful mark-to-market rent upside following potential removal of HFC rent restrictions. Rowlett Station is a transit-oriented asset positioned directly adjacent to the Downtown Rowlett DART Blue Line station, offering residents direct rail connectivity to Downtown Dallas. The property was 92% occupied at closing with in-place rents trailing comparable properties in the submarket, providing a clear operational upside path as Sundance Bay executes its business plan.
