Our network includes lenders specializing in these transaction sizes, providing competitive terms for conventional, agency (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac), and CMBS loans. For example, we recently closed a $28 million refinance for a 250-unit garden-style apartment complex in a secondary market, securing a fixed-rate, non-recourse loan with a 10-year term.

We have experience structuring complex deals, such as a $75 million acquisition financing for a Class A high-rise apartment building in a major metropolitan area, involving a syndicated loan structure. We also handle large-scale construction financing for new multifamily developments exceeding $100 million.
- Affordable Housing & Workforce Housing: Thorne CRE has a proven track record in financing affordable and workforce housing projects. This includes expertise in navigating Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) structures, tax-exempt bonds, and other government-sponsored programs.
