CHARLOTTE, NC: Waterstone Defeasance recently closed a defeasance transaction for a $48.4 million Freddie Mac loan, secured by a multifamily property in Draper, Utah. Waterstone guided the owners through the defeasance process coinciding with the owners’ refinance of their loan.

As the defeasance consultant, Waterstone managed the activities of the numerous parties involved with the transaction to meet the borrower’s closing schedule. Parties associated with a defeasance transaction typically include the servicer, servicer’s counsel, borrower, borrower’s counsel, securities broker, custodian, accountant, rating agencies, and the successor borrower.

“The refinance of agency debt placed in 2015 was the reason for the defeasance.  At closing, the borrower retired debt of over $48M on a 492-unit multifamily property located in UT. We appreciate the confidence our client continues to show in Waterstone’s ability to meet their requirements and look forward to our next transaction.” – Carol Tillman, COO with Waterstone
