According to a Jan. 23 announcement from the real estate finance company, the deal closed that same day with brokers John Banas, Kristopher Wood, Christopher Philipps, Rhett Saltiel, Erik DiGirolamo and Sean Bailey of securing the financing.

Campus Town is a 184-unit Class A complex located just outside of the campus of The College of New Jersey at 400 Campus Court in Ewing. Comprised of 11 buildings, according to Walker & Dunlop, the student housing component occupies upper floors with ground-level retail offered across 27 commercial units.

A public-private effort, Red Bank-based PRC was tapped as developer for the $120 million Campus Town project by TCNJ, according to PRC’s website. Phase 1 of the project was completed in 2015, bringing seven buildings with furnished student apartments and approximately 80,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space to the college and community. Phase 2 added living space for an additional 166 students across 54 apartments.

Commercial tenants at the property include: Jersey Mike’s, Panera Bread, Frutta Bowls, Spencer Savings Bank, Verizon Wireless and an urgent care center, among others.

“Walker & Dunlop is proud to have played a role in this ; due to our extensive network of capital providers and strong relationship with the lender, the team was able to lock in a great fixed rate a month prior to loan funding,” said Banas, managing director of capital markets at W&D.

Based in Maryland, Walker & Dunlop has offices nationwide, including in Englewood Cliffs.
