SALT LAKE CITY, UT - Safehold, the creator and leader of the modern ground lease industry, has closed on a $26.5 million ground lease to facilitate the ground-up development of One Burton, a fully amenitized 180-unit multifamily project located in South Salt Lake's new downtown district.
The Qualified Opportunity Zone project will be developed by a new Safehold customer, ABSTRACT Development Group, an affiliate of a large New York based multifamily real estate owner.
"We are pleased to close our first multifamily transaction in Salt Lake City with a first-rate sponsor," said Senior Vice President Adam Matos. "Safehold's ground lease structure has proven to be an advantageous capital source for high-end developments nationwide. We look forward to expanding our presence in the Salt Lake City market and continuing to work closely with ABSTRACT."
"This transaction was extremely important to us as it represents our first project in the growing Salt Lake market. The Safehold team was a pleasure to work with, and remained a reliable partner, even during this current period of economic uncertainty," said Jason Algaze, Principal at ABSTRACT. "They understood our goal to provide thoughtfully-designed and much-needed housing in the Salt Lake market. We look forward to working alongside Safehold to develop additional high-end multifamily projects."
