CHICAGO, ILLINOIS (June 12, 2020) – Sue Blumberg, senior vice president/managing director and Kevin McCarthy, vice president of NorthMarq’s Chicago office, collaborated to arrange the $16.29 million refinance of Park Tower Apartments. The 134-unit multifamily property is located at 247 Caterpillar Drive in Joliet, Illinois. The transaction was structured with a fully-amortizing 35-year term. NorthMarq arranged financing for the borrower, an affiliated Evergreen Residential entity, through its in-house FHA/HUD team. 

The Park Tower is a 14-story building that offers a maintenance free setting with all the comforts of home, as well as affordable rents based on income.

Residents pay 30 percent of the household's net income for rent.

“We have had the opportunity to finance this property several times over the last 20 years as the Borrower and Management Company enhance the asset, the quality of life and long-term commitment to the property and the residents. Our team helped make this happen in times of market disruptions, assuring loan execution and delivery in a timely manner,” said Blumberg.
