JLL Arranges Nearly $60M Financing for Bay Area MF Portfolio

Mosser Capital secured $58.5 million in financing to fund the recapitalization of a nine-property multi-housing portfolio located in Oakland. JLL Capital Markets worked exclusively on behalf of the borrower and its new foreign investment partner to secure the seven-year, including extension options, floating-rate loan through Société Générale.

The loan includes interest-only payments through the first five years of the term with an initial advance of $49.5 million, and an additional $9 million in future funding for unit renovations, the addition of new ADU’s and other expenses. Mosser originally acquired the assets in a series of transactions and aggregated the portfolio between 2016 and 2017.

The portfolio consists of 282 existing rent-controlled residential units, including the addition of 28 to-be-built ADU’s, and four ground-floor retail suites. The properties are centrally located in highly desirable submarkets of Oakland: Cleveland Heights, Adam’s Point, Lakeside, Uptown and East Lake. Units average 522 square feet.

JLL’s Peter Smyslowski and Bercut Smith handled the deal.
