Walker & Dunlop announced it arranged $128.5 million in acquisition financing for The Arno, a 168-unit luxury residential community located in Houston’s River Oaks neighborhood.
Walker & Dunlop Capital Markets Institutional Advisory arranged the transaction on behalf of Sade Real Estate. The financing was secured by Sean Reimer, Aaron Appel, Jonathan Schwartz, Keith Kurland, Adam Schwartz, Dustin Stolly, and Sean Bastian, with capital provided by Hudson Bay Capital.
The Arno is positioned in one of Houston’s most supply-constrained luxury residential markets, with the River Oaks neighborhood continuing to benefit from long-term household wealth, limited land availability, and sustained demand for high-end housing. The property offers residents access to River Oaks Shopping Center, Highland Village, Central Market, Uptown, Downtown Houston, and the Texas Medical Center.
Walker & Dunlop noted that the development’s luxury positioning, curated amenities, and hospitality-driven residential experience align with evolving preferences among affluent buyers seeking privacy and convenience in premier urban neighborhoods.
The transaction adds to Walker & Dunlop’s active capital markets business. In 2025, the company’s Capital Markets team sourced more than $22 billion from non-agency capital providers, including nearly $16 billion for multifamily properties.
