Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. completed a $762.6 million commercial real estate mortgage loan securitization through its subsidiary Arbor Realty Commercial Real Estate Notes 2026-FL1, LLC. The vehicle issued about $674.0 million of investment grade-rated notes and Arbor retained approximately $88.6 million of subordinate interests.
The securitization is backed by real estate related assets and cash with a face value of about $762.6 million, primarily first-lien mortgage bridge loans, and includes roughly $100 million of capacity to acquire additional loans for up to 180 days. The offered notes carry an initial weighted average interest rate of approximately 1.73% over Term SOFR, pay interest monthly, and have a stated maturity in September 2043, with expected repayment earlier based on collateral performance.
