Pembrook Provides $15.35 Million First Mortgage Loan for Acquisition and Renovation of Parkwood Apartments in Los Angeles County

LANCASTER, Calif., Sept. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Pembrook Capital Management LLC ("Pembrook"), one of the nation’s leading bridge lenders for affordable housing, provided a $15.35 million first mortgage loan for the acquisition of Parkwood Apartments, a 90-unit multifamily property located at 700 W Avenue in Lancaster, CA, part of Los Angeles County.

With the funding in place, the sponsor, MF Asset Management, will perform exterior renovations, bring expenses in-line with other properties it owns in the sub-market and renovate the apartment units. The sponsor, who also owns several other apartment complexes in the Los Angeles region, plans to lease at least 51% of the units to low- and moderate-income tenants in the market.

"Parkwood Apartments represents the kind of high-quality, well-located multifamily property Pembrook is pursuing and aligns with our initiative to provide capital to minority neighborhoods as part of our effort to address the racial and economic inequality in the USA."

Parkwood Apartments was constructed in 1983 and is comprised of 10 buildings spread over 3.56 acres. The property unit mix includes both one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments and the complex features numerous community amenities including two swimming pools, a recently renovated fitness area, gated entry, 24-hour laundry, garage and a playground.

The city is serviced by the Antelope Valley MetroLink Commuter Rail system, which connects residents to employment hubs in the San Fernando Valley, Downtown Los Angeles and the rest of Southern California.
