Walker & Dunlop Arranges $153 Million for Multifamily Portfolio

BETHESDA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Walker & Dunlop, Inc. announced today that it has arranged $153.3 million in total loan proceeds to refinance three garden style multifamily properties, Exchange at Juban in Denham Springs, Louisiana, Exchange at Blair Stone in Tallahassee, Florida, and Exchange at Indian Trail, in Indian Trail, North Carolina.

Walker & Dunlop Capital Markets arranged the refinance for long-time client, Hathaway Development. The team, led by Stephen Farnsworth, Hanes Dunn, and Robert Henry, provided the floating rate bridge loans from ACRES. The loans will refinance the existing construction debt and redeem the outstanding preferred equity, ensuring a balanced capital structure while optimizing financing terms.

“We’re proud to have partnered with Hathaway Development on the refinance of this three-property portfolio,” said Dunn, senior manager at Walker & Dunlop. “The assignment aligned perfectly with our team’s strengths—deep capital-markets knowledge, disciplined underwriting, and the ability to navigate complex structures. Working closely with our trusted lender partner ACRES, we secured attractive first-mortgage financing that optimized proceeds and supported Hathaway’s strategic plan. The transaction reflects the quality of the assets, the strength of the sponsorship, the capabilities of the lender, and the expertise our team brings to every mandate.”

The three communities were each developed by Hathaway and combined, provide 876 luxury apartment units across the Southeast. Exchange at Juban, a 264-unit garden-style property in Denham Springs, LA, was completed in 2024 and refinanced for $44.7 million. Exchange at Blair Stone, a 300-unit garden-style community in Tallahassee, FL, delivered in January 2025, was refinanced for $52.4 million. Exchange at Indian Trail, a 312-unit garden-style development in Indian Trail, NC, was also completed in January 2025 and refinanced for $56.2 million.

“As a firm, we focus on identifying assets in markets where meaningful supply–demand imbalances create strong opportunities for rent growth and long-term value,” said Daniel Hathaway at Hathaway. “This portfolio exemplifies that strategy across Louisiana, Florida, and North Carolina. We approach every investment with the goal of building and preserving value, and the support from Walker & Dunlop was instrumental in bringing this transaction to a successful close.”

Walker & Dunlop is one of the top providers of capital to the U.S. multifamily market; in 2024 the firm originated over $30 billion in debt financing volume, including over $25 billion for multifamily properties. To learn more about our capabilities and financing options, visit our website.
