Molloy of Lument leads team in $14.5 million Freddie Mac multifamily refinance
Brooklyn, NY Lument has provided a $14.5 million Freddie Mac conventional loan to refinance 800-830 Empire Blvd., a 35-unit mid-rise multifamily property. Kristian Molloy, associate director at Lument, led the transaction.
“Freddie Mac proved to be a timely and effective financial solution for the refinance of this community, as the loan refinances existing debt with a low, fixed-interest rate and seven-year term, two years of which are interest-only,” said Molloy. “Not only was the sponsor able to consolidate and pay off short-term debt, it also benefitted from $3.5 million in recouped equity that can be used for capital improvements and new projects.”
After purchasing the land in 2015 for $2.3 million, the borrower invested $15.1 million to build the community, which successfully opened in 2020. That success is demonstrated by the community’s 100% occupancy rate as of June 2021.
The apartment building consists of 15 one-bedroom units, 15 two-bedroom units, five three-bedroom units, and a ground floor commercial space that is leased to a daycare. Eleven of the 35 units are rent stabilized and reserved for low-income renters. Amenities include underground parking, bicycle storage, and a furnished rooftop deck.
The deal was brokered by Joseph Saul of RidgeRock Asset Management Group, a repeat client of Lument.

There was a time when an offering memorandum (OM) was pretty bare bones, some photos, a few bullet points on income, and a rent roll thrown in at the back. That used to get the job done. Not anymore. In 2025, buyers are sharper, faster, and more selective. They’re looking
