Dwight Capital closed the HUD 223(f) loan for the 316-unit Springs at Bettendorf property at 3939 53rd Avenue in Bettendorf, Iowa. Loan proceeds will be used to retire existing debt, fund repairs and establish a reserve for future capital expenditures.

The market-rate townhome-style community has studio to three-bedroom apartments within 15 two-story buildings. Community amenities include a clubhouse, a fitness center, a swimming pool, a dog park and a car wash station.

Menomonee Falls, Wisc.-based Continental Properties also landed a $15.3 million HUD 223(f) loan from Dwight to refinance its 118-unit The Grove property at 246-258 Snelling Avenue in St. Paul, Minn., that also comprises 4,300 square feet of ground-floor retail space. The six-story building, which has studio to three-bedroom layouts, features amenities that include a fitness center, a rooftop sky lounge and a community room.

Josh Sasouness, co-founder and managing principal of Dwight Capital, said in a statement that the lender has closed around “a dozen” transactions for Continental Properties in the last decade and called them a “role model” for the CRE industry. 

Representatives of Continental Properties did not immediately return a request for comment.
