Newmark arranges $369 million Fannie Mae credit facility for April Housing’s Florida affordable‑housing portfolio

Newmark Group organized a $369 million credit facility from Fannie Mae on behalf of April Housing to finance an 11‑property affordable‑housing portfolio in Florida. The facility is split into a $221.4 million fixed‑rate draw and a $147.6 million floating‑rate draw and is structured as an interest‑only loan. Newmark’s affordable‑housing finance team handled the transaction, reviewing 24 regulatory agreements across the properties and applying a buydown on the fixed‑rate portion. April Housing said the financing will help preserve long‑term affordability for the communities.

The new credit line provides April Housing with the capital needed to maintain affordability in its Florida assets, reducing the risk of property loss or conversion. For Newmark, the deal adds fee revenue and showcases its capability to execute complex, agency‑backed financing, which may attract similar assignments.
