Freddie Mac, the US-backed mortgage buyer that is a creditor of Stuyvesant Town-Peter Cooper Village, would consider providing financing to an eventual buyer of the Manhattan apartment complex, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The 80-acre property, Manhattan’s largest apartment complex, should be sold to a reputable owner who would keep it affordable, according to the person, who asked not to be named because the discussions are private.

Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, the government-backed mortgage finance companies, are the two biggest creditors of Stuyvesant Town.

“We will continue to monitor the situation as the parties involved seek a resolution in the best interests of the tenants and the community,” said Fannie Mae spokesman Brian Faith.
