Walker & Dunlop, Inc. said Wednesday it arranged $356,411,000 in financing for the acquisition of four properties in eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. A Walker & Dunlop Capital Markets team led by Craig West arranged the portfolio financing on behalf of an affiliate of longtime client Harbor Group International, with Freddie Mac providing acquisition financing.
The portfolio comprises 1,817 units and approximately 1.8 million rentable square feet across four communities. Built between 1970 and 1974, the properties are located in Marlborough, Worcester and Bridgewater, MA, as well as Warwick, RI.
