ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Stonehill’s commercial real estate group, Stonehill CRE, announced it had closed a $52.0 million senior loan facility to Starpoint Properties for the construction of Lotus Point Apartments, a 245-unit multi-family property located in Mesa, Ariz., within the Phoenix Metropolitan Statistical Area.
The loan will facilitate construction of a four-story multi-family building, estimated to be completed in the first quarter of 2025. The six-acre site, located adjacent to grocery-anchored retail and within walking distance to the metro light rail, will offer studio, one- and two-bedroom units with premium amenities that include a fitness center, clubhouse, co-working area, pool with spa and open and covered parking options.
“This investment mirrors the precise kind of strategy we actively seek – a great property with a sophisticated sponsor in a high-growth market,” said Taylor Pike, senior vice president, Stonehill CRE. “Phoenix remains one of the nation’s best-performing markets for job growth thanks to a diversified employment base across a broad range of industries. Despite strong demographics, single-family-for-sale development has not kept pace. Coupled with the rapid rise in mortgage rates, well-located multifamily projects will remain in high demand.”
Stonehill, a part of Peachtree Group, is a direct commercial real estate lender offering permanent loans, bridge loans, mezzanine loans, commercial property-asset clean energy (CPACE) financing and preferred equity investments across all commercial real estate sectors.
