Walker & Dunlop has arranged $203.5 million in construction financing for a 184-unit mixed-use apartment development at 50 Third Ave. in Manhattan's East Village, Connect CRE reported on Oct. 13.

The project is planned with 12,529 square feet of ground-floor retail at 11th Street and Third Avenue, according to Connect CRE.

Connect CRE identifies the deal team as Walker & Dunlop's Capital Markets Institutional Advisory team and names Aaron Appel among its members.
