Fannie Mae Backs Westside Lease-Up With $43.5M Loan: The Atlanta Deal Sheet

Owners of a West Midtown multifamily development lined up fresh financing to fuel its lease-up.

Lincoln Property Co. and Bridge Investment Group landed a $43.5M Fannie Mae loan for the Vibe at Echo Street West, a 292-unit multifamily property in the larger Echo Street West development just west of Georgia Tech.

The partnership broke ground on the Vibe in 2021 and delivered the apartments in 2023, backed by a $135M construction loan from Bank OZK, court filings show.

Located at 750 Echo Street West on the Westside BeltLine Connector, the eight-story property is 94% leased, according to Haddow & Co.

CBRE’s Blake Cohen arranged the financing.

Lincoln unloaded its 275K SF timber office at 765 Echo St., a 21K SF loft at 745 Echo and a 9K SF restaurant at 755 Echo in December to Menlo Equities, fetching prices in the low $200s per SF — far below the $450 per SF it cost to build.

SALES

In Atlanta’s historic Capitol View neighborhood, JW Capital Management bought the 325-unit Vivian apartments from RangeWater Real Estate and ParkProperty Capital. Terms weren’t disclosed.

Property records show Fulton County valued 1246 Allene Ave. at $52M in 2025. JW Capital financed the deal with a $47M KeyBank loan in August, state court filings indicate.

RangeWater developed The Vivian in 2023.
