Walker & Dunlop Arranges $138 Million Financing for Mixed-Use Brooklyn Community

BETHESDA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Walker & Dunlop, Inc. announced today that it arranged a $137.5 million refinancing for 12 Halsey, a newly completed Class A mixed-use multifamily property located in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York.

Walker & Dunlop Capital Markets Institutional Advisory served as exclusive advisor to EJS Group and Hope Street Capital in arranging the three-year, floating-rate financing with AllianceBernstein. Aaron Appel, Jonathan Schwartz, Keith Kurland, Adam Schwartz, Dustin Stolly, Sean Reimer, Michael Diaz, Michael Ianno, and Cole Grims led the refinancing.

“Demand for newly constructed multifamily assets in New York City remains exceptionally strong, particularly for properties that combine high-quality execution, affordability, and transit-oriented locations,” said Appel, senior managing director of Capital Markets and co-head of Institutional Advisory at Walker & Dunlop. “12 Halsey represents exactly the type of institutional-quality asset that continues to attract significant lender interest. We appreciate the opportunity to advise EJS Group and Hope Street Capital and thank AllianceBernstein for its partnership in delivering a successful financing.”

Completed in October 2025, 12 Halsey comprises 240 residential units, with 30% designated as affordable under New York's Affordable New York (421-a) program, as well as approximately 2,400 square feet of ground-floor retail. The property occupies a full cross-block site between Fulton and Halsey Streets and benefits from immediate access to the A and C subway lines, providing convenient connectivity throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan.

“12 Halsey reflects our long-term commitment to developing thoughtfully designed mixed-use communities that expand housing opportunities while enhancing the surrounding neighborhood,” said Ted Segal, president of EJS Group. “We're grateful to AllianceBernstein and Walker & Dunlop for their partnership and execution throughout the financing process.”
