BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. (November XX, 2022) – Berkadia announces it has secured a $93.6 million loan to refinance two multifamily communities located in Palm Beach County: Advenir at Banyan Lake and Advenir at La Costa, both vintage garden-style multifamily assets located in Boynton Beach, Fla.

Give the unprecedented volatility and over all climb in the treasury during the last several months, we were able to accomplish the borrower’s goals related to both terms, and returning substantial cash to the partners in both transactions.”

PHOENIX  (August 31, 2022) – Berkadia announces it has sourced both a joint venture partner and a preferred equity provider for developer Moderne to build two new multifamily communities in Phoenix totaling 358 units: The Governor and Moderne Arrowhead.
