Home Federal Bank of Tennessee funded a loan for $1.65 million and Smartbank backed a loan for $5.04 million. The largest loan of the week was for a whopping $70 million funded by U.S. Bank National Association.

That $70 million loan went hand-in-hand with the highest-value property transfer of the week. Bayou Park TIC LLC and Dorel Laredo TIC LLC sold the Quarry Trail Apartments at 3999 Highland Crest Way in South Knoxville. Quarry Trail SPE LLC purchased the large student housing complex for $89.59 million.

The other large commercial property transfer was The American House Assisted Living in Halls at 7521 Andersonville Pike. Mainstay Healthcare National Pike LLC bought the property from Knox Realty Propco LLC for $2.6 million.

Six other properties changed owners at a ticket of $1 million or more, all being residential.
