CHICAGO, Nov. 30, 2021 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged a $26.872 million refinancing for The Lakes Apartments, a 232-unit multi-housing community in Indianapolis, Indiana.

JLL worked on behalf of the borrower, NTS Development Company, Louisville, KY, “NTS”, to secure the seven-year, fixed-rate loan through Freddie Mac. The loan will be serviced by JLL Real Estate Capital, LLC, a Freddie Mac Optigo℠ lender.

The Lakes Apartments is an institutional-quality asset consisting of 15 buildings offering larger-format one-, two- and three-bedroom units that average 998 square feet. Apartments feature white kitchen cabinets, wood-burning fireplaces, master baths, vaulted ceilings, in-unit washer dryers, private entries and covered patios or balconies. Community amenities include a clubhouse, swimming pool, outdoor kitchen, 24-hour fitness studio, business center, pickleball courts, pet walking area, car care center and a clubhouse, among others. Parking is provided for residents through a combination of surface parking, parking stalls and detached garage spaces.

Located at 8740 Arborway Ct., The Lakes Apartments is well-positioned in the College Park neighborhood of northwest Indianapolis. This location is about 12 miles north of downtown Indianapolis and is close to Interstate 465 providing access to the surrounding suburbs. The College Park neighborhood offers a variety of retail venues and restaurants for residents to enjoy.

The JLL Capital Markets team representing the borrower was led by Managing Director Matthew Schoenfeldt. 

“NTS maintains and operates their properties with a long-term view, and this is evidenced in The Lakes,” noted Schoenfeldt. “98%+ occupancy and long-tenured tenancies are proof that residents respond to this commitment to excellence. We took NTS’ track record to-the-hoop with Freddie, who has been an exceptional lender to the firm.”
