Walker & Dunlop Arranges $61 Million in Financing for Office Park Properties in Florida and Wisconsin

Bethesda, Maryland – June 7, 2016

Walker & Dunlop, Inc. (NYSE: WD) (the “Company”) announced today it closed two deals totaling $61,350,000 for Doral Costa Office Park in Miami, Florida and High Point Office Park in Madison, Wisconsin.

In 2015, Walker & Dunlop closed 45 office park transactions totaling $493,481,050. As the economy recovers, secondary markets are experiencing increased employment and as a result, companies have expanded their staff and opened new offices, providing opportunities for new construction and building renovations to meet the requirements of their tenants. According to MBA, during the first quarter of 2016, U.S. office rents increased 4.1 percent as compared to first quarter 2015. This has made the office sector increasingly attractive to borrowers looking to invest in commercial real estate properties.

Walker & Dunlop has grown its capital markets platform to include a wide variety of capital sources to meet the financing needs of owners of office buildings, retail centers, and hotels across the United States. Senior Vice President, Paul Ahmed, stated, “Borrowers are expanding their portfolios to include office parks, although the risks are greater, clients experience higher returns and expanded outreach.”

Jorge Linkewer, manager at Doral Costa Capital, LLC, commented, “We have been involved in hundreds of millions of dollars in closed transactions with Paul Ahmed of Walker & Dunlop. Mr. Ahmed has proven himself as a seasoned and consummate professional who consistently delivers the desired results. On our latest transaction involving an approximately $50 million commercial real estate loan for a $75 million dollar acquisition, Mr. Ahmed suggested we close with Allianz. While Mr. Ahmed had experience with Allianz before, we did not. With a very tight timeframe to get the property from application to funding we were somewhat apprehensive. After the first progress call the apprehension quickly went away. They exhibited speed of execution, professionalism, and efficiency.”
