The debt investments REIT recently closed four loan transactions worth a total of $325.5 million.<\/p>\n<p>Talk about diversity, Apollo\u2019s recent activities covered a lot of ground in terms of property types. Apollo provided a $105 million first mortgage loan secured by the brand-new, 612-key DoubleTree Times Square West hotel in Manhattan. The company financed another New York City asset, closing a $7.5 million first mortgage loan collateralized by a 6,500-square-foot retail property in Brooklyn. But it wasn\u2019t all about the Big Apple.<\/p>\n<p>Outside Washington, D.C., in Manassas, Va., Apollo completed an $80 million first mortgage loan secured by a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/data-center\/\" target=\"_blank\">data center<\/a> that will soon get underway. Much of the property has already been pre-leased to a credit tenant under a long-term agreement. And with a 735,000-square-foot office building in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/chicago\/\" target=\"_blank\">Chicago<\/a> as collateral, the REIT closed a $133 million first mortgage loan for the redevelopment of the tower into a mixed-use destination.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the past few months, ARI built a strong pipeline of commercial real estate debt <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/investment\/\" target=\"_blank\">investments<\/a> in anticipation of the approximately $400 million of investable capital the company generated from the acquisition of Apollo Residential Mortgage Inc. and the subsequent sale of AMTG assets. As a result, ARI had a very active September,\u201d Scott Weiner, CIO of Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance Inc., said in a prepared statement.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s more. Apollo just entered into a master repurchase agreement with Deutsche Bank AG to provide a credit facility of as much as $300 million of advances related to the financing of first mortgage loans. The facility comes with a one-year term and the option for two one-year extensions. And the news just keeps on coming. Apollo also reported that over the last couple of months, loan repayments and condominium sales have yielded the REIT $122.9 million. To top it off, the company has also agreed to acquire Apollo Residential Mortgage for roughly $641 million, as previously reported by <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/apollo-siblings-to-merge-in-600m-plus-deal\/\" target=\"_blank\">Commercial Property Executive<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The REIT recently closed four loan transactions totaling $326 million in New York City, Chicago and D.C.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":969,"featured_media":1004154658,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1491,21755,21808,21825,21751,21783,11,21752,23891,1600,21742,10,21747,1615],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004154650","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chicago","category-data-centers","category-featured","category-finance","category-hotel","category-investment","category-midatlantic","category-mixed-use","category-national","category-new-york","category-latest","category-northeast","category-office","category-washington-dc"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
