Newmark Capital Markets announced today on behalf of NBP Capital and Berggruen Holdings, it has successfully arranged a $75.5 million loan from ACORE Capital, for the refinancing of Class A multi-family complex known as The Douglas. The Newmark Capital Markets team was led by Vice Chairmen and Co-Heads of Debt & Structured Finance Jordan Roeschlaub and Dustin Stolly and Managing Directors Chris Kramer and Nick Scribani.
The property is a 290-unit, 92 percent occupied, mid-rise apartments with sprawling city, mountain and river views located in Downtown Portland. The loan was used to retire existing debt at a lower cost of capital. NBP Capital and Berggruen Holdings have owned the asset since 2015 and have completed extensive capital improvements, most of which was completed over the past 12 months. The Douglas takes advantage of its unique qualities, such as townhome units with private garages, backyard spaces and large unit sizes.
“The combination of institutional sponsorship as well as a Class A quality asset, made this opportunity highly attractive to lenders,” said Mr. Roeschlaub. “ACORE was able to provide flexibility that will allow NBP and Berggruen to execute their business plan.”
The property also includes roughly 17,000 square feet of retail space, home to a spa, sports bar, property management services and restaurant space. The Douglas is located on the waterfront of the Willamette River, adjacent to Governor Tom McCall Waterfront Park, the largest public park in the downtown Portland area and near the area’s largest employers and higher educational campuses.
