The three-story, 130-unit multifamily project is spread across two buildings and sits above more than 30,000 square feet of curated ground-floor retail, including eateries and service-focused shops. Tralee Village was a prime opportunity to acquire a well-located, high-quality asset in a highly sought-after submarket that has experienced significant population and employment growth since the pandemic, said Sean Burton, CEO of Cityview. With a 95% average historical occupancy and robust market fundamentals, Tralee Village fits squarely in our strategy of acquiring communities in supply constrained markets with high barriers to entry at significantly below replacement cost. Originally built in 2011, the community offers spacious one-, two- and three-bedroom floorplans featuring open concept layouts, in-unit washers and dryers, granite countertops, USB outlet ports, modern custom-wood cabinetry in two styles, central heat and air, large closets, 9-foot ceiling heights and stainless-steel appliances. Select units also feature vaulted ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and large balconies. Cityview is planning a comprehensive renovation of the interiors and common areas, including new unit flooring, lighting, kitchen and bathroom countertops and accessories. Tralee Village residents have full access to community amenities including ground-floor retail, a resort-style pool and spa, high-end fitness center, clubhouse, business center, courtyard and BBQ area, playground, parcel lockers, bike storage and ample garage parking. Located at 6599 Dublin Boulevard, Tralee Village is ideally located in the Tri-Valley, which is increasingly recognized as the Bay Area s premier business ecosystem. Its centrally accessible location, relatively affordable office rents and highly educated workforce continues to attract innovative start-ups and well-established companies including 10X Genomics, Chevron, Workday, Oracle, Tesla, General Electric, SAP, Snowflake, TriNet and Accenture. Combining urban conveniences with suburban comforts, Dublin is located just 35 miles east of San Francisco and features highly rated public schools, 24 community parks, nearly 800 acres of open space and a wide array of cafes, restaurants and shops. The city is currently undergoing a vast mixed-use and pedestrian-oriented transformation as the Downtown Dublin Preferred Vision comes to fruition. With a 58% population increase from 2010 to 2020, and 10,000+ new residents expected by 2033, Dublin s multifamily market is experiencing growing demand and shrinking supply, making this a prime area for investment, added Burton. We look forward to reimagining Tralee Village and elevating its design, finishes and amenities to rival new Class A communities. Conveniently situated at the intersection of I-580 and I-680, Tralee Village residents have easy access to the West Dublin/Pleasanton BART station as well as the nearby employment hubs of Silicon Valley, San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, Walnut Creek and the Peninsula.

The loan proceeds from Knighthead s two-year, fixed rate, interest-only financing will be used to take out the maturing construction loan on the property and allow for continued stabilization. The Luna has exhibited strong leasing velocity since it was completed in 2023. The Luna is located at 1009 8th Avenue South in the popular Edgehill neighborhood, two miles south of Downtown Nashville. The highly amenitized property attracts residents seeking direct access to the approximately 78,000 jobs and the rich entertainment environment in downtown Nashville. This is Knighthead s fifth loan with CA South, a vertically integrated real estate firm that has successfully brought to the Nashville market approximately 500 residential units, 852,000 square feet of industrial and 78,000 square feet of office space since its founding in 2016. CA South is a repeat borrower with a substantial history of success both in this product type and submarket, said Peter Illuzzi, who led the Knighthead origination team. We expect CA South to successfully execute the business plan on The Luna as it has done with all their other projects we have financed. Nashville s population of more than 2 million makes it the largest metropolitan area in a five-state region. It is home to corporate headquarters for industry giants like Nissan North America, Bridgestone Americas, Mitsubishi Motors North America, Tractor Supply Company, and iHeartMedia. Recently, Oracle announced its plan to move its headquarters to the Music City, citing that Nashville ticked all the boxes for Big Red s employees. The Nashville market is positioned for long term growth, fueled by the market s sustained population and many corporations continued desire for a presence in the market, added Knighthead Principal Jonathan Daniel. With an ongoing need for quality housing in the market, combined with the strength of sponsorship, this property is poised for prolonged success. https://www.multifamilybiz.com/pressreleases/17216/knighthead_funding_originates_22_million_bridge_lo...

The two-year senior loan is secured by The Heights on Lemon Apartments which is located on a 1.74-acre site at 1224 Lemon St. Built in 1966 and renovated in 2021, the garden-style community is made up largely of two-bedroom apartment homes housed in eight two-story residential buildings. Each unit features stainless steel appliances, wood-style flooring, washer and dryer, and spacious kitchens. Common area amenities include a pool, sundeck, courtyard and BBQ/picnic area. The property is currently 97% leased. The sponsor, an experienced multifamily investor and operator in the Phoenix area, acquired the property in 2021 with in place rents well below market. Since the purchase, the sponsor has invested more than $1 million on interior renovations, HVAC replacement, and multiple exterior upgrades. Since acquiring the asset, ownership has pushed rental growth and substantially improved the property, said Calmwater Director Zachary Novatt, who led the origination team that included Managing Principal Larry Grantham and Vice President DaJuan Bennett. The Calmwater bridge loan will provide the sponsor an opportunity to continue improving the asset while preserving flexibility, which has become very important in the current market environment. Heights on Lemon benefits from its location in the heart of Downtown Tempe, which serves as a central hub for shopping, dining, nightlife, and recreation for residents in the area, including the approximately 75,000 students and faculty that attend nearby Arizona State University. The large student population combined growing tech sector continue to be tremendous demand drivers for quality rental housing in Tempe.

The six-flat buildings, at 8622 W. Berwyn Ave., 8657 W. Berwyn Ave., and 5240 N. Oakview Ave., were all constructed in 1969. Interra Managing Partner Patrick Kennelly, Managing Director Paul Waterloo and Associate Nathan Zito represented the portfolio s seller, a local partnership. The buyer, also a local partnership, was represented by Jay Chandran of Jay C. Realty. This marks Interra s fourth closing within the O Hare submarket in the last six months, including 8531-35 W. Bryn Mawr Ave. in December 2023 for $1.74 million. There remains high demand for investment properties near O Hare due to very little apartment vacancies in the submarket and a continuing increase in rents, said Waterloo. This portfolio offered a scale of units not often seen in the area, resulting in multiple offers and going under contact within a week of being on the market. The 8622 W. Berwyn property, which sold for $1.055 million, represented the highest price for a six-flat within the O Hare submarket in the last five years, per Redfin data. Under the same ownership for nearly 20 years, the building consists entirely of two-bedroom units and includes six surface parking spaces, on-site laundry and tenant storage. Two cornering properties, 8657 W. Berwyn and 5240 N. Oakview, sold for $1.05 million and $1.025 million, respectively. The Berwyn building consists of four two-bedroom, one three-bedroom and one one-bedroom unit, while the Oakview property includes six two-bedroom units. Previously under the same ownership for over 30 years, the buildings include a mix of garage and surface parking spaces, on-site laundry and tenant storage. The properties are close to the CTA s Cumberland Blue Line station, Kennedy Expressway and Schiller Woods, a 284-acre, multi-use forest preserve along the Des Plaines River.

The project is in The Palisades, one of the most sought-after suburban neighborhoods in Charlotte, and is the last undeveloped community within the master-planned development. It is truly a unique homebuilding opportunity and one of the last of its scale still available in this explosive growth city. Alex Phillips, Andrew Slowik, Louis Smart and Battle Smith of Cushman & Wakefield are representing the seller, Drapac Capital Partners, in all marketing efforts. The property will be sold with an approved Land Disturbance Permit (LDP), providing the rare opportunity for development to begin immediately following its sale. The team will be collecting offers on June 27, 2024. "This is a special property positioned in a severely supply constrained submarket. It presents the right buyer an opportunity to deliver a one-of-a-kind asset with a mix of townhomes, detached single family, and lakefront options - not only homes but also an enviable waterfront amenity space. We anticipate the unrivaled scale will attract regional attention, said Phillips, Director within Cushman & Wakefield s Sunbelt Multifamily Advisory Group. The three-acre waterfront pad included with The Coves at Lake Wylie offers an exciting opportunity to deliver a market-leading private amenity. This concept includes a pool, clubhouse, pickleball courts, multi-slip dock, ramp and kayak launch. Extensive walking paths and lawn space can be programmed to enhance resident wellbeing. Docks are permitted through Duke Energy and the amenity site plan through Charlotte Land Development. A highly desirable and irreplaceable in-place zoning that allows for a strategic mix of single-family detached, townhome and lakefront lots. Additionally, there are no rental restrictions on the single-family portion of the property (73%), no minimum home size and limited off-site requirements. Once built, the community will become part of the award-winning 1,600-acre, 12,800 home master-planned community known as The Palisades. Future residents will benefit from access to a wider range of resort-style amenities than any other neighborhood in Charlotte such as a golf course, sports complex, and equestrian center. The Coves at Lake Wylie will also be ideally situated near national retailers, grocers, and a variety of restaurants and just 30 minutes away from Charlotte s city center, offering unmatched accessibility. Charlotte s average population growth of 3.3% over the last five years is approximately eight times the national average. The metro was the sixth fastest growing in the U.S. in 2023 with close to 1,000 people per week moving to the area. "Through first class stewardship, Drapac unlocked an opportunity to capitalize on Charlotte s explosive population growth and deliver one of the Southeast s preeminent communities.

Thu, 04 Jul 2024 08:51:00 GMT 3ff03476-011b-4afb-bcdb-65745c6f1b9f NewPoint Sponsored Fund Provides $13.3 Million in Tax-Exempt Bond Financing for DC Affordable Housing Development WASHINGTON, DC - NewPoint Impact Fund I (the Fund ) has provided $13.3 million in 501(c)(3) bond financing to facilitate the acquisition, rehabilitation, and recapitalization of Ridgecrest Apartments Phase II, a 128-unit affordable housing community located in the Anacostia submarket of southeast Washington D.C. The borrower is The NHP Foundation ( NHPF ), a New York-based not-for-profit developer that specializes in affordable housing. NewPoint Real Estate Capital ( NewPoint ) Senior Managing Director Bryan Dickson arranged and structured the tax-exempt construction-to-permanent phased bond financing through the NewPoint Impact platform. The transaction represents the inaugural residential rehab financed by the District of Columbia s Revenue Bond program supported through a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) bond transaction. This creative transaction involved a sophisticated joint effort between NewPoint, NHPF, DC Green Bank, and local agencies, including the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development, Department of Housing and Community Development, and District of Columbia Housing Authority, Dickson said. A willingness to explore an alternative solution in place of LIHTC resulted in a smart and efficient construction-to-perm financing that will revitalize an aging asset and create long-term affordable and supportive housing. The $13.3 million in Fund financing will be combined with $29.2 million in soft debt and grants from DC Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), including Housing Production Trust Funds (HPTF), $2.3 million in subordinate debt from DC Green Bank to execute the rehabilitation, as well as $2.2 million in deferred fees and other sources. Collectively, these resources will support long-term affordability and significant energy-efficiency improvements. Ridgecrest Phase II was previously operated as part of the larger Ridgecrest Village, a 1951-built development that was purchased by NHPF in 2019. After recapitalization, 20% of Ridgecrest Phase II s units will be restricted at 30% of AMI to serve as permanent supportive housing. The remaining 80% of units will be restricted at 50%, 60% and 80% of AMI per HPTF rent thresholds. Ridgecrest Phase II is among the first rehab projects of its size to transition to fully electric energy sources, aligning with District of Columbia goals for decarbonization. The aggressive plan to enhance energy efficiency is traditionally cost-prohibitive for affordable housing communities, but made possible through the transaction s structure and District funding. This closing marks a major milestone for the District of Columbia – it was funded without low-income housing tax credits and is the District s first 501(c)(3) municipal bond issuance funded by the Office of the Mayor for Planning and Economic Development to rehabilitate residential housing, said Pamela Lee, Assistant Vice President of Development at NHPF. The close collaboration between public and private groups sets a new standard for successful deal execution. The garden-style apartment community features a mix of two-bedroom and three-bedroom units ranging in size from 850 to 1,000 square feet. Community amenities include a laundry room, a playground, and surface parking. In addition, residents have access to the adjacent Villages at Parklands Splash Park, an 80,000-square-foot waterpark and pool. About The NHP Foundation: Headquartered in New York City with offices in Washington, D.C., Baltimore and Chicago, IL, The NHP Foundation (NHPF) was launched on January 30, 1989, as a publicly supported 501(c)(3) not-for-profit real estate corporation. NHPF is dedicated to preserving and creating sustainable, service-enriched multifamily housing, and single-family homes that are both affordable to low and moderate income families and seniors, and beneficial to their communities.
