Pembroke Pines, Fla. – Berkadia announces it has secured $36.14 million in acquisition financing for Ventura Pointe, a newly built 206-unit multifamily community located in Pembroke Pines, Florida. Senior Managing Director Charles Foschini and Managing Director Christopher Apone arranged the loan on behalf of the buyer, Ventura Pointe Apartments, LLC.

MetLife originated a 5-year loan with full-term interest at a 65 percent loan to value.

“Broward County has demonstrated considerable economic growth in a variety of sectors,” said Foschini. “Multifamily fundamentals will remain strong as demand is expected to continue growing steadily and create annual upward pressure.”
