BETHESDA, Md., Dec. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Walker & Dunlop, Inc. announced today that it structured $12,500,000 in financing for Windsor Court Apartments and $8,925,000 for Lindsay Commons, two apartment complexes located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Both properties are affordable, with all 354 units having Section 8 HAP contracts and Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) restrictions.

Led by Matthew Baptiste, Senior Director, and Jeff Lawrence, Managing Director, Walker & Dunlop arranged the Freddie Mac financing on behalf of the client, Stonebridge Global Partners, LLC. The client is a repeat Walker & Dunlop client but also has a long history with Freddie Mac. Since 2015, Stonebridge has completed over 28 transactions through Freddie Mac and has closed eight loans with the agency in 2020 alone.

Eli Mizrahie, CEO and Managing Partner of Stonebridge Global Partners, LLC, commented, "As experienced affordable housing professionals, we appreciate the resilience of the Section 8 platform, and recognize the importance of combining private capital in the preservation of affordable housing. As we continue to build our footprint in the Midwest, our acquisition strategy has been to cultivate a sizeable presence in top tier cities like Milwaukee, that serve as commercial and industrial hubs for the Great Lakes region. We take pride in developing our properties into desirable and attractive communities for our residents."
