DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced today that it has secured financing commitments for The Village Apartments, an iconic multi-housing development in Dallas, Texas totaling approximately 7,000 units. The financing included a single-sponsor securitization and a floating-rate credit facility. All financing commitments were provided by Freddie Mac, and the loans will be serviced by HFF through its Freddie Mac Program Plus® Seller/Servicer program.
HFF worked on behalf of a joint venture between Lincoln Property Company, Invesco Real Estate, acting on behalf of an institutional client, and Crow Holdings. Financing proceeds were used to retire an existing Freddie Mac loan facility and to provide additional capital for future development.
The Village is located at the intersection of Caruth Haven and Greenville Avenue approximately eight miles northeast of downtown Dallas. Developed as a “city within a city,” the 309-acre property has an abundant amount of open green space, two lakes, a network of streams and water features, and 2.5 miles of jogging/biking trails. Originally developed in the late 1960s, ownership has continued to strategically add new multi-housing communities and common area amenities with a long-term vision in mind.
