BWE, a national commercial and multifamily mortgage banking company, announced today the closing of five Freddie Mac Targeted Affordable Housing loans to refinance four affordable housing developments in El Dorado County, CA, and one in Sonoma County, CA. Jon Killough, Executive Vice President in BWE’s Alabama, AL, office, and John Roberts, Vice President in the firm’s, Dallas, TX, office, originated the loans on behalf of the borrower. “California remains a center of the country’s housing crisis, so it’s critical that low-income housing developments like these have the financing they need to thrive and serve their residents,” said Killough. “BWE will continue to work with owners and developers across the country to help them build, preserve, and operate the affordable homes that the nation desperately needs.” The five properties are:· Cottonwood Senior Apartments (Placerville, CA), a $1,280,000 loan to refinance an 81-unit affordable housing community for adults aged 55 years or older.
