Mark Scott of CMC negotiates $18 million construction loan for 60-unit apartment complex

Mark Scott's Commercial Mortgage Capital (CMC), a leader in real estate finance that arranges permanent, construction and mezzanine loans for a wide range of commercial properties including multifamily, office, retail, industrial and healthcare facilities primarily in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, announced that it has closed a whopping $224.67 million worth of multifamily, office and industrial loans in 2012. "We are thrilled to announce another hugely successful year at Commercial Mortgage Capital," said Scott. "These deals are a testament to our deep and longstanding relationships within the commercial real estate and banking industries, and we anticipate another record year in 2013." Scott said, "With real estate fundamentals improving following a tumultuous tumble over the past several years, now is the time to invest and take advantage of the current low interest rate environment. The recent posturing by the Federal Reserve over the fate of Quantitative Easing has also led to inflationary concerns among investors, and smart money is going to great lengths to lock in today's low rates." Of particular note on the multifamily side were a $20-million permanent loan for a 256-unit apartment complex in Woodbridge, NJ; a $19-million construction loan for a 116-unit apartment building in Rahway, NJ; an $18-million construction loan for a 60-unit apartment complex in Sleepy Hollow, NY; and a $15-millioin permanent loan for 401 apartment units in Keasbey, NJ.
