Fannie Mae Priced $796 Million Green Multifamily DUS REMIC (FNA 2021-M3G) Under Its GeMS Program

September 24, 2021
Latest Transaction Marks Fannie Mae’s Third Multifamily Green GeMS Issuance of 2021

WASHINGTON, DC – Fannie Mae (FNMA/OTCQB) priced a $796 million Green Multifamily DUS® REMIC under its Fannie Mae Guaranteed Multifamily Structures (Fannie Mae GeMS™) program on September 21, 2021. FNA 2021-M3G marks the tenth Fannie Mae GeMS issuance of 2021.

“It was a busy month of new issuance across asset classes, and we were pleased to wrap up the quarter with our third Green GeMS deal of 2021 – pushing our total program-to-date Green GeMS issuance to $13.4 billion,” said Dan Dresser, Senior Vice President, Multifamily Capital Markets & Pricing. “With the M3G, we were once again looking to assemble a diverse pool of green multifamily MBS collateral for the market, providing investors with solid credit performance and quantifiable environmental impact across 14 different states.”

Now in the second decade of its Multifamily Green Financing business, Fannie Mae remains committed to generating positive environmental and social impact through our two Multifamily Green products: our Green Building Certification (GBC) program and Green Rewards, our energy- and water consumption-reduction program. Combined, we have issued over $97 billion of Multifamily MBS backed by these financing products. Through the Fannie Mae GeMS program, we have re-securitized into REMICs an additional $13.4 billion backed by Green MBS.

“Our REMIC-structured product enables us to pull from both of our green financing programs into a single investment opportunity,” said Lisa Bozzelli, Senior Director, Multifamily Capital Markets. “For the M3G, 32 of the 34 multifamily properties backing the MBS used our Green Rewards program to make energy and water efficiency retrofits that meet our program requirements, enabling these older, less efficient properties to reduce consumption and realize utility cost savings for their tenants. The Fannie Mae Green Rewards program has been rated "light-to-medium green" by CICERO, a Second Party Opinion (SPO) provider, in recognition of the program's strong governance."
