MIAMI, FLA. – AUG. 3, 2020 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it arranged a $9.26 million refinancing for The Forum, a 73-unit mid-rise apartment community located at 1361 Federal Highway in Boca Raton, Florida.

JLL worked on behalf of the borrower, Rosemurgy Properties, to secure the 120-month, fixed-rate loan through Freddie Mac. The loan will be serviced by Jones Lang LaSalle Multifamily, LLC, a Freddie Mac Optigo℠ lender.
