The Annapolis office of Tremont Realty Capital structured financing for the refinance of MacLeod's MHC, a 376-unit manufactured housing community. John Chase, a senior director with Tremont, arranged the $14.5 million loan, which was funded through one of Tremont's correspondent relationships. The 10-year loan provided for roughly 65% loan-to-value with a 5.95% interest rate. According to Chase, "The sponsor and Tremont's correspondent were able to work through issues related to 346 buried heating oil tanks and still able to provide a timely funding that provided a non-recourse loan with equity recapture." Tremont Realty Capital, LLC is a national real estate investment and advisory firm, which makes direct debt and equity investments and provides institutional advisory services.
