Arbor Funds $45M in Single-Family Rental Portfolio Loans Across Seven States
UNIONDALE, NY (July 7, 2021) – Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE:ABR), a leading residential and commercial mortgage lender, recently closed nine transactions under its Single-Family Rental Portfolio (SFR) lending platform. The loan proceeds were used to finance acquisitions, construction and recapitalizations across seven states.
Since its launch, Arbor’s Single-Family Rental Portfolio Platform has been a key area of focus and growth for the company. Through the lending platform, Arbor has been able to capture the rapid increase in demand for SFR properties. Offering both short-term and permanent financing products, Arbor’s platform has funded new development, transitional and stabilized SFR portfolio transactions.
“We believe the single-family rental space is as big as the multifamily lending market and is a phenomenal business with enormous opportunities in the bridge, permanent lending and build-to-rent products,” said Ivan Kaufman, Chairman and CEO of Arbor Realty Trust. “We made considerable progress in growing out this platform and are committed to being a leader in the space. We are very pleased with the significant growth we are seeing in our pipeline of opportunity by leveraging off of our existing originations capacity and capabilities.”
