Walker & Dunlop Closes a $105 Million Freddie Mac Acquisition Loan for The Bridge Apartments in California

Bethesda, Maryland – February 23, 2016

Walker & Dunlop, Inc.(NYSE: WD) (the “Company”) announced today it closed a $68,083,000 assumption in conjunction with a $36,900,000 supplemental loan for the acquisition of The Bridge Apartments, in 58 days. The Bridge Apartments is a 544-unit, Class B apartment complex located in Hayward, California.

Phoenix Realty Group in partnership with Intercontinental Real Estate Corporation purchased the property. This transaction was taken under application at the end of October 2015 with a strict year end closing deadline. This timing proved challenging as the first mortgage was a securitized loan, and the assumption and supplemental required approval from multiple parties. Further compressing the timeline were multiple holidays, and the potential for reduced staffing and vacations during the fourth quarter. The process required great cooperation and communication between all parties involved. Walker & Dunlop was able to work closely with Freddie Mac to get the supplemental approved quickly; while at the same time working with the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, and Direct Certificate Holder to expedite the approval of the assumption. The transaction closed ahead of schedule and prior to the Christmas holiday.

Trevor Fase, managing director, led the Walker & Dunlop team. Mr. Fase commented, “This transaction exemplified the expertise of the Walker & Dunlop team. Through detailed preparation, excellent coordination, constant communication, and unbelievable cooperation, the team shepherded the deal through all approval levels and we were able to close a large Freddie Mac assumption and supplemental, during the busy fourth quarter rush, in just 58 calendar days. The entire team exceeded expectations. Additionally, we had tremendous support and cooperation from our partner, Freddie Mac.”

“We are extremely pleased with the Walker & Dunlop team’s ability to move quickly and efficiently throughout the assumption and supplemental process,” said Jessica Levin, director, Acquisitions and member of Intercontinental’s Investment Committee. “With The Bridge’s appealing mix of upscale amenities along with its proximity to major employment hubs in the Bay Area, this asset provides a key opportunity for us to meet the needs of the rental community by providing quality housing at competitive rents.&38221;

The property includes 19 two-story and 10 two- and three-story apartment buildings including a clubhouse, fitness center, two swimming pools, spas, a playground, and controlled access gates.
