Cost: $5.4 million

Borrower: Blair MCAP LLC

Lender: Capri Capital Finance LLC

Trustee: Chicago Title Insurance Co.

Property: Blair Tower Apartments on 1.35 acres at 810 Washington Ave.

The property was purchased in November by Zephyr Management LP, manager of the Municipal Capital Appreciation Partners I, II and III funds.

According to Charles Frischer, MCAP principal, the funds invest in distressed or defaulted apartment complexes.

We try to buy real estate only apartments where we think that we can, in many cases, make some better places to live for the residents and make some money in the process, Frischer said.

Built in 1964, Blair Tower contains 208 units. Frischer said a number of capital improvements are planned for the high-rise, including painting the facade, repairing the elevators, performing hallway upgrades and improving unit interiors.

We think that the improvements are going to make it a better place for everybody, he said. We like the occupancy we have now, but we think as any business is theres always room for improvements, and we think itd just be a nicer residence.
