Walker & Dunlop Arranges $128.5 Million Financing for The Arno in Houston’s River Oaks

Walker & Dunlop Capital Markets Institutional Advisory arranged the transaction on behalf of Sade Real Estate. Sean Reimer, Aaron Appel, Jonathan Schwartz, Keith Kurland, Adam Schwartz, Dustin Stolly, and Sean Bastian secured the financing with capital provided by global alternative asset manager Hudson Bay Capital.

“River Oaks remains one of the most supply-constrained luxury residential markets due to long-term household wealth, limited land availability, and sustained demand for high-end residential product,” said Reimer, senior managing director of Capital Markets Institutional Advisory at Walker & Dunlop. “The property’s scale, luxury positioning, and highly curated amenity package align with the evolving preferences of affluent buyers seeking privacy, convenience, and a hospitality-driven residential experience within one of Houston’s most established neighborhoods.”

“The combination of River Oaks’ long-term fundamentals, Houston’s continued population growth, and highly selective development activity continues to reinforce the neighborhood’s exclusivity and long-term value,” said Yoni Sade, chairman and CEO at Sade Real Estate. “Walker & Dunlop and Hudson Bay Capital understood both the vision and unique positioning of the asset, helping us secure a financing structure that supports the development.”

Located in Houston’s River Oaks neighborhood, The Arno offers walkable access to River Oaks Shopping Center, Highland Village, and Central Market, along with convenient connectivity to Uptown, Downtown Houston, and the Texas Medical Center. The neighborhood’s blend of luxury retail, dining, and residential character continues to attract buyers seeking a highly amenitized urban lifestyle within one of the city’s premier residential communities.

“As we continue to pursue differentiated investments across compelling asset classes and submarkets, The Arno stands out as a highly attractive financing opportunity,” said Zachary Cion, managing director at Hudson Bay Capital. “We are pleased to partner with Yoni, the Sade Capital team, and Walker & Dunlop to help advance their vision.”

In 2025, Walker & Dunlop’s Capital Markets team sourced over $22 billion from non-Agency capital providers, including nearly $16 billion for multifamily properties. This vast experience has made them a top advisor on all asset classes for many of the industry’s top developers, owners, and operators.
