New York, NY (PRWEB) February 23, 2017 -- SVN Affordable | Levental Realty (SVN Affordable) announced today that the 1,009-unit affordable housing portfolio owned by Kline Enterprises (Kline) and managed by First National Properties (FNP) has sold. SVN Affordable was the exclusive listing broker tasked with valuing, marketing and negotiating the transaction on behalf of Kline. Kline is a second-generation, family-owned organization who assembled the impressive portfolio of senior and family affordable assets located in Paterson, Orange, East Orange, Metuchen, Old Bridge, Hazlet and East Windsor. The affiliate property management company, FNP and their tenured site staff consistently received outstanding achievement awards for providing safe and affordable housing for its residents. Pryor Cashman’s Ronald B. Kremnitzer, co-chair of the Real Estate practice, together with partner Perry Amsellem and associate Ari Tran, acted as seller’s counsel for Kline and FNP and remained pragmatic and creative throughout numerous negotiations that have been ongoing since May of 2016.

The seven properties are subsidized by long-term project based section 8 contracts and encumbered by various regulatory restrictions. Some of the characteristics of the individual assets made the portfolio uniquely challenging to value and finance. The $180M value is the result of a sophisticated financing structure specific to portfolio transactions. The sale of the portfolio will ensure long-term affordability for over 2,500 residents and preservation of the assets through sustainable upgrades and planned renovation over the next several years.

The buyer was a joint venture between Hudson Valley Property Group, Red Stone Companies and Wheelock Street Capital. Community Realty Management will act as third-party property manager, while retaining the majority of the existing staff members at each of the properties. Financing was provided by Walker and Dunlop and Fannie Mae, while Goodwin Procter LLP, Nixon Peabody LLP and Berman Indictor LLP served as purchaser’s counsel for the transaction.

“SVN Affordable was selected as the exclusive listing broker for the seller given our national platform and understanding of the regulatory and complex financial environment surrounding this asset class. Senior Advisor, Jamie Renzenbrink led the transaction on behalf of the firm. After creating a competitive pool of 168 qualified affordable developers, we vetted out buyers’ underwriting assumptions and debt/equity models to assure we had a clear and closable path to closing given the multitude of challenges and assumptions associated with such an acquisition. Hudson Valley, Red Stone, and Wheelock were selected as a result of such diligence.” Gene Levental, Managing Director, SVN Affordable

“This was a complex transaction that required the finesse of an experienced legal team,” said Ronald B. Kremnitzer, lead counsel on the transaction. “We are thrilled to help this sophisticated deal, which included multiple contracts and an in depth understanding of regulatory hurdles, across the finish line after a diligent, yearlong effort.”
