"It took a ton of hard work and sweat, but we got this deal done during unprecedented market conditions and volatility. Once again, our team leaned on Diligence Capital Advisors to go out and scour the market for the best possible terms. The end result was an extremely borrower-friendly debt instrument that positions us to optimize cash flow and produce outsized reruns to our investors,"  said Michael Tester.

"Financing options might not be plentiful at the current moment but our team is uniquely setup to procure the best terms available and execute. Student Housing remains a highly risk-insulated asset class and we are finding that many lenders share this outlook. Every deal has a story and the R+M Team, along with Diligence Capital Advisors, did an exceptional job of telling that story to the appropriate capital providers," said Rickey Biddle.

The closing of the refinance of the complex occurred on Wednesday May 27th, 2020.

"From a location standpoint, the Project benefits from strong area demographics in terms of high student population density and sustained multi-year growth in off-campus housing demand at Temple University. From a sponsorship standpoint, the Project benefits from the union of the owner of one of Temple University's most prominent off-campus management companies and the owner of one of Philadelphia's burgeoning construction companies, said Jared Cobert, Managing Partner of Diligence Capital Advisors.
