Cherry Tree Closes on $81M Portfolio in Omaha & Lincoln, Nebraska

Newport Beach, CA (March 23, 2022) — Berkadia announced today the combined financing secured for Lakeview Park Apartments and The Vue Apartments, two garden-style multifamily properties located in Nebraska. Managing Director Allan Freedman of Berkadia Los Angeles and Managing Director John J. Schorgl of Berkadia Kansas City secured the $59.079 million in combined permanent acquisition financing on behalf of the borrower, Cherry Tree Capital Partners.

“The extra year of interest only, over what’s typically offered by Freddie Mac, allowed the clients further runway to execute their business plans for the assets,” said Freedman.

“This was a great opportunity for Cherry Tree Capital Partners to crack the elusive Omaha market,” said Schorgl.
