NewPoint Real Estate Capital Arranges $45.5 Million in Life Company Financing for Revel Ballpark in Atlanta, Georgia

ATLANTA, GA — (March 6, 2026) — NewPoint Real Estate Capital (“NewPoint”) has arranged a $45.5 million fixed-rate loan for the acquisition of Revel Ballpark, a 275-unit multifamily community located in Atlanta, Georgia.

The 36-month life company loan provided by Nationwide Life Insurance Company features interest-only payments for the full term and was structured to provide the borrower with certainty of execution through a streamlined closing process. Despite the holiday season, NewPoint closed the transaction just 50 days after receipt of a signed rate lock letter, prior to a formal application.

The loan was originated by NewPoint Senior Managing Director Laurie Morfin and Managing Director David Bleiweiss, who are based in the company’s Irvine, California office.

“We are pleased to deliver a swift and certain execution for the acquisition of Revel Ballpark,” said Ms. Morfin. “Locking the rate based on a rate lock letter without a formal application demonstrates our ability to move quickly and provide our client with early pricing certainty. Closing in just 50 days, inclusive of the holidays, underscores our commitment to efficiency and reliable capital,” she added.

Revel Ballpark offers modern studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments in Cobb County, and is within walking distance of Truist Park and The Battery Atlanta. Residences feature in-home washers and dryers, quartz countertops, and designer plank flooring. Community amenities include a saltwater pool, state-of-the-art fitness center, and complimentary coffee bar. Situated in a highly amenitized submarket of metro Atlanta, the property offers residents convenient access to major employment centers, retail, and entertainment destinations.
