NorthMarq Capital Arranges $3.7M for 32 Class-A Units in Lynn

May 13, 2019
38 - 44 Andrew Street, Lynn MA

BOSTON–Jeffrey Munoz, vice president of NorthMarq’s Boston regional office secured the $3.7 million construction loan for Andrew Street Apartments, a 32-unit class-A multifamily property located at 38-44 Andrew Street in Lynn. The transaction was structured with a 25-year term on a 25-year amortization schedule with interest-only payments throughout the construction period.

NorthMarq arranged financing for the borrower through its relationship with a local bank. The property will be located in downtown Lynn and help support the influx of new residents to the area. Three blocks away from the train station, the Andrew Street Apartments will be ideally situated for commuters.

“It is important to finance projects that will add supply to Boston’s housing market and its surrounding neighborhoods. Having strong relationships with borrowers and lenders whose businesses help to solve the lack-of-housing problem is essential for progress,” said Munoz. “Governor Baker set a goal to add 135,000 housing units to the Commonwealth by 2025 ... Lynn is well-situated to take advantage of these growth opportunities, he added.”

In a release, the NorthMarq team noted a large area of Lynn has been designated as an opportunity zone. While the Andrew Street project is not involved with an Opportunity Zone fund, the designation of the neighborhood makes it desirable for institutional capital, further facilitating an increase of new housing units coming to the market.
