DENVER, CO – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it secured $54.5 million in construction financing for Tree Farm Lofts, a 196-unit, six-building multi-housing community located in Basalt, Colorado.
JLL worked on behalf of the borrower, Lang Partners and Realty Capital Residential, to secure a four-year, floating-rate, construction loan with a one-year extension. The lender, a regional bank, facilitated the loan.
With a completion date of July 2024, the property will be wood-framed construction on concrete post-tension slab foundation consisting of six buildings. The building mix will include two-, three- and four-story structures mixed throughout the development with all three- and four-story buildings served by elevators and three buildings, providing sub-grade parking. Community amenities will feature a clubhouse, ground floor retail, a leasing office, 1,900 square feet of co-working space, a fully equipped fitness center, resort style pool and spa, multiple amenity decks with fire pits, bike, kayak and ski storage and other first-class amenities.
