Berkadia Secures Construction Debt for Cleveland-Area Apartments

Berkadia closed on construction financing for The Ascent at Top of the Hill, a midrise multifamily property in Cleveland Heights, OH. Dan Geuther of Berkadia’s Cleveland office and Michael Slovitt of the Chicago office secured the $52.6-million, three-year loan through Goldman Sachs Private Bank on behalf of Indianapolis-based Flaherty & Collins Properties.

“The Ascent at Top of the Hill is a landmark project for the City of Cleveland Heights and a transaction that we are honored to have been a part of,” said Geuther. “This deal included a complex, multi-layered capital stack. For the deal to close in the midst of a global pandemic is a true testament to the first-class sponsorship in Flaherty & Collins Properties and the diligence of the team at Goldman Sachs.”

The project will feature 261 luxury apartments, more than 11,000 square feet of first-floor commercial space and nearly 25,000 square feet of green space.
