BETHESDA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Walker & Dunlop, Inc. announced today that it arranged the $87.2 million acquisition financing for Santa Fe Ranch Apartments, a 320-unit garden-style conventional multifamily property in the coastal submarket of La Costa, California.
Santa Fe Ranch
Walker & Dunlop Capital Markets led by Mark Grace and John Montakab arranged the interest-only, fixed-rate loan on behalf of an institutional investment group, with Freddie Mac providing the capital.
Santa Fe Ranch is a 1987-vintage, 320-unit multifamily community situated on 20 acres in one of San Diego County’s most desirable and supply-constrained areas. The property offers a mix of spacious 1- and 2-bedroom units and features an attractive amenity package that includes a resort-style pool and spa, updated fitness center, business lounge, BBQ/picnic areas, and a dog park, appealing to the area’s active, lifestyle-oriented renter demographic.
As the largest community in La Costa and the third largest in all of Carlsbad, Santa Fe Ranch offers walkable access to top-rated schools, retail, dining, and outdoor amenities like Stagecoach Park. With direct access to major employment hubs and proximity to one of San Diego’s strongest rent growth markets, the property’s prime location and affluent tenant base position it for long-term value.
“Santa Fe Ranch is a standout asset in Carlsbad, held by the seller for many years. Our client is acquiring a rare value-add opportunity in a prime, supply-constrained market where new development is extremely limited, highlighting the long-term growth and strategic potential of this property,” said Mark Grace, senior managing director of Capital Markets at Walker & Dunlop.

The firm is also one of the top providers of capital to the U.S. multifamily market.
