CBRE has arranged a $34.2 million senior loan and a $11.7 million
preferred equity investment to finance the acquisition of The Preston, a 334-unit apartment complex in
McDonough, Georgia, approximately 30 miles southeast of downtown Atlanta.
Blake Cohen and Charlie Clark with CBRE Capital Markets’ Debt & Structured Finance in Atlanta
represented the borrower, ARC Multifamily, who purchased the property for $52.375 million. The
senior loan was secured through Fannie Mae and the preferred equity was provided by Related Fund
Management.
“It was a pleasure working with the ARC team again as they continue to scale their presence in the
southeast,” said Mr. Cohen, Senior Vice President at CBRE. “We looked at several different financing
scenarios, but the senior loan plus preferred equity structure was ultimately the most accretive execution
from a leverage and blended cost of capital standpoint.”
Located at 100 Preston Creek Dr., The Preston was built in 2001 and includes a mix of one-, two-, and
three-bedroom units ranging from 767 square feet to 1,794 sq. ft. Standing three stories and spread
across 42 acres, the property offers open floorplans, modern kitchens, and spacious closets. Community
amenities include two pools, a grilling area, a business center, and a resident lounge.
