CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Waterstone Defeasance recently closed on the defeasance of 6 CMBS loans totaling $144 Million.  The loans were secured by a portfolio consisting of multifamily properties located in Nevada, Colorado and New Mexico.  Waterstone guided the owners through the defeasance process coinciding with the owners’ sale of four of the properties and the refinancing of the loans for the remaining two properties.
