JLL arranges $50.4M financing for Denver apartment project

DENVER, August 8, 2019 – JLL announces it has arranged financing totaling $50.4 million for the development of Farm Haus, a 280-unit, Class A apartment project in the north Denver suburb of Longmont, Colorado.

JLL worked on behalf of the developer, a joint venture between Massimino Development and Origin Investments, to place the higher leveraged structured floating-rate construction financing. The financing featured no repayment guaranty and a 36-month loan with two 12-month extension options.

Farm Haus will be constructed on a 13.52-acre parcel at the northwest corner of East 3^rd Avenue and Great Western Drive just south of E. Ken Pratt Boulevard (Route 119). Due for completion in 2021, the property will feature a modern farmhouse design while incorporating resort-style amenities and lush landscaping. Interior amenities will include a lobby with expansive windows overlooking the grand exterior patio, pool terrace, tree orchards and Lone Peak that leads into a resident lounge and clubhouse equipped with billiards and gaming space and demonstration kitchen with flexible dining or co-working space. Outdoor amenities include built-in barbecues, resort-style pool with multiple water features, pool house with built-in bar, outdoor TVs and games, playground, dog park and several landscaped “pocket” parks with seating.

Residences will feature master suites with spacious walk-in closets, double vanities, oversized tubs, charging stations, nine-foot ceilings, full-sized washers and dryers, large modern kitchens, designer cabinets, stainless steel appliances, pendant lighting, designer flooring, private balconies and Bluetooth keyless entry. Of the 280 units, 247 will be market-rate and 33 will be designated as affordable. The four-story property is less than three miles from downtown Longmont and is a short drive to the Longmont Park-n-Ride.

The JLL Capital Markets team representing the developer was led by Managing Director Josh Simon and Senior Director Leon McBroom.
