Deal Spotlight
THE SITUATION
FIAT House was a newly completed 309-unit luxury multifamily community located in Fort Lee, New Jersey. Delivered in 2025, the property represented the world’s first FIAT-branded residential community and consisted of two connected towers offering more than 30,000 square feet of amenities, including a unique FIAT 500e rideshare program for residents. Strategically positioned near the George Washington Bridge, the community provided convenient access to Manhattan while benefiting from strong demand and tight multifamily fundamentals in Bergen County. Upon completion, the owner sought to refinance with long-term financing that reflected the asset’s high-quality construction, distinctive branding, and prime location.
THE SOLUTION
Greystone, in collaboration with Cushman & Wakefield, provided $85.5 million in Fannie Mae financing to refinance the property. The 10-year loan delivered stable, long-term capital tailored to the asset’s luxury positioning and newly completed status. The financing structure supported the transition from development to permanent debt while aligning with the owner’s long-term investment objectives.
THE RESULTS
The refinancing enabled the owner to secure long-term, fixed-rate financing for a one-of-a-kind luxury community at stabilization. Supported by strong market fundamentals and a differentiated amenity and branding strategy, FIAT House was well positioned for sustained performance in the Northern New Jersey multifamily market. The transaction strengthened the property’s capital structure and underscored Greystone’s ability to deliver customized financing solutions for distinctive, high-profile multifamily assets.
THE SITUATION
Magnolia Preserve was a 173-unit garden-style multifamily community located on 11.2 acres in Dothan, Alabama. Built in 2014, the property comprised more than 191,000 square feet of rentable space across nine residential buildings and featured modern interiors, with many units renovated to include stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, updated lighting, and sunrooms in select layouts. The community offered a robust amenity package, including a resort-style pool, outdoor cabana with kitchen and fireplace, electronic package lockers, dog park, car care center, business center, cybercafé, and fitness center. Supported by proximity to two major medical centers, the property served a strong resident base that included a significant number of healthcare professionals. As the asset was brought to market, the buyer sought acquisition financing that would support the purchase and align with long-term ownership objectives.
THE SOLUTION
Greystone, in partnership with Cushman & Wakefield, provided a $22,311,000 Fannie Mae DUS® loan to support the acquisition of the property, while Cushman & Wakefield arranged the sale. The financing structure delivered stable, long-term capital tailored to the property’s strong fundamentals, modern amenities, and established operating history. The coordinated execution of both the sale and financing created an efficient transaction process for all parties involved.
THE RESULTS
The acquisition financing enabled the successful completion of the sale and positioned the new owner to continue operating and enhancing a well-located, high-quality community in the Dothan market. With strong demand drivers and a diverse resident base, Magnolia Preserve was well positioned for sustained performance. The transaction demonstrated Greystone’s ability to deliver integrated financing solutions in collaboration with strategic partners, supporting both acquisition objectives and long-term asset performance.
