One of the loans is for $33 million and the other is for $5 million. The larger of the two was used for permanent financing for newly-built Parkview Apartments—currently 99 percent leased. Both loans have a 65 percent loan-to-value ratio and will amortize on a 30-year schedule.

Yuri Kletsman, a senior vice president at Berkadia, worked to secure the financing for the borrower, which was new to agency financing.

“We want to thank Berkadia and Yuri Kletsman for such great efforts in helping us through the refinancing of the Parkview Apartments and Garden View Villa Homes,” said Richard Rafuls, president of Rafuls & Associates Construction Corporation. “Yuri and his team were extremely efficient, professional and very supportive on our investment objectives.”
