The Community Preservation Corp. (CPC) has closed a $5.475 million Freddie Mac loan to refinance an existing HUD-insured mortgage at the Remington Gardens apartment complex. "Refinancing Remington Gardens' mortgage with a $5.475 million Freddie Mac loan not only continues our successful partnership with its developer, Cosimo Zavaglia, but also helps CPC to provide the City of Syracuse with high-quality rental housing options," said Nicholas Petragnani, Jr., senior vice president and Central & Western New York regional director, CPC. "We are pleased to continue to play a role in the revitalization of Syracuse and help make this city's housing stock stronger." CPC's loan has a 10-year term with a 30-year amortization schedule, and was originated under Freddie Mac's Capital Markets Execution Program.
