Eastern Union has facilitated a $125.3 million acquisition loan for The Pavilion, a 15-story, 1,115-unit apartment community situated at 5441 N. East River Road in Chicago. The financing, which represents a 75 percent loan-to-cost ratio with a 30-year amortization schedule, supported the $167 million acquisition of the property by Chicago-based R.I.G. Capital from seller Brookfield Asset Management. Stephen York of Arbor Realty Trust originated the agency financing.

Built between 1968 and 1972, the five-building complex maintains a 96 percent occupancy rate. On-site amenities at the property include a dedicated club building, swimming pool, spa, sauna, fitness center, and barbecue area. The transaction is reportedly the largest multifamily sale in Chicago on a year-to-date basis and marks the first time the asset has traded hands in several decades.
