IPA Arranges $17M for Michigan Student Housing

IPA Capital Markets, a division of Marcus & Millichap (NYSE: MMI), announced the $16,975,000 financing for the acquisition of a student housing property consisting of 62 units located adjacent to the University of Michigan’s main campus at 1700 Geddes Ave. in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

The Manhattan-based IPA Capital Markets team of Max Hulsh, Max Herzog, Marko Kazanjian, and Andrew Cohen secured the financing with A10 Capital on behalf of Havenly Ventures, a NYC-based real estate investment firm that specializes in value-add acquisitions primarily in the student housing sector.

“IPA Capital Markets successfully secured competitive bridge financing with a lender that provided maximum flexibility, allowing the borrower to execute their business plan,” said Hulsh. “The plan involves densifying the property’s oversized two-bedroom units into four-bedroom units by converting per-unit metering to bed-by-bed charging.”
