alker & Dunlop Capital Markets secured $145.75 million in first‑mortgage and preferred‑equity funding for Bryant at Yorba Linda, a 400‑unit luxury complex in Orange County’s upscale Yorba Linda. Chris Botsford and Jeff Burns arranged a five‑year fixed‑rate senior loan with interest‑only payments, financed by Freddie Mac. Justin Nelson and PJ Feichtmeier obtained preferred equity from a leading multifamily operator for owner Interstate Equities Corp. Botsford said the layered structure—Freddie Mac debt topped by preferred equity—offered an optimal capital strategy, underscoring the resilience of the 5‑year fixed‑rate agency market.
Bryant at Yorba Linda spans 404,220 sq ft, offering one‑ and two‑bedroom units with contemporary interiors, open layouts, and premium finishes. Residents enjoy a clubhouse, fitness center, pool, spa, playground, sport court, dog park, and lounge. Brendan Gibney of IEC praised the location’s blend of luxury, convenience, and proximity to top schools, hiking trails, golf courses, Fortune 500 employers, and cultural sites such as the Bowers Museum, Cal State Fullerton, and the Richard Nixon Library.
The deal showcases Walker & Dunlop’s expertise in innovative capital solutions; the firm originated over $30 billion in debt financing in 2024, with more than $25 billion in multifamily lending.
