Insights

ABR secured $1.05B securitization with favorable terms, strengthening liquidity while creating flexible financing for future growth.

Arbor Realty Trust has successfully closed a $1.05 billion commercial real estate mortgage loan securitization, demonstrating strong capital markets execution despite volatility. The structure includes $933 million of investment-grade rated notes issued to investors while Arbor retained $117 million in subordinate interests - a strategic move that aligns with regulatory requirements while maintaining skin in the game.

The deal's 1.82% weighted average spread over Term SOFR represents competitive pricing in the current market environment. Most impressive is the two-and-a-half-year replenishment period which provides crucial operational flexibility - as loans in the collateral pool pay off, Arbor can reinvest those proceeds into new qualifying assets rather than paying down the facility immediately.

The securitization includes $123 million of immediate capacity to acquire additional loans within 180 days, effectively creating a forward commitment for near-term lending opportunities. This transaction accomplishes multiple strategic objectives: it pays down existing credit facilities (likely at higher costs), funds transaction expenses, and creates capital for future loan originations and investments.

By retaining the transaction on balance sheet as a financing rather than a sale, Arbor maintains economic exposure to the underlying loans while achieving matched-term financing against those assets. The combined features - investment-grade ratings from multiple agencies, ability to reinvest principal proceeds, and substantial ramp-up capacity - indicate strong market confidence in Arbor's underwriting and asset management capabilities in the commercial real estate sector.

UNIONDALE, N.Y., Aug. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: ABR), today announced the closing of a $1.05 billion commercial real estate mortgage loan securitization (the “Securitization”). An aggregate of approximately $933 million of investment grade-rated notes were issued (the “Notes”) and Arbor retained subordinate interests in the issuing vehicle of approximately $117 million. The $1.05 billion of collateral includes approximately $123 million of capacity to acquire additional loans for a period of up to 180 days from the closing date of the Securitization.

The Notes have an initial weighted average spread of 1.82% over Term SOFR, excluding fees and transaction costs. The facility has a replenishment period of approximately two years and six months that allows the principal proceeds from repayments of the portfolio assets to be reinvested in qualifying replacement assets, subject to certain conditions.

The offering of the investment grade-rated Notes was made pursuant to a private placement. The investment grade-rated Notes were issued under an indenture and secured initially by a portfolio of real estate related assets and cash with a face value of $1.05 billion, with such real estate related assets consisting primarily of first mortgage bridge loans.

Arbor intends to own the portfolio of real estate related assets through the vehicle until its maturity and expects to account for the Securitization on its balance sheet as a financing. Arbor will use the proceeds of this Securitization to repay borrowings under its current credit facilities, pay transaction expenses and fund future loans and investments.
