WASHINGTON D.C., August 1, 2019 – JLL announces it has secured $24.9 million in acquisition financing for 251 North, a 192-unit, garden-style property located at the juncture of Atlanta’s Midtown, Old 4^th Ward and East Atlanta neighborhoods.

Working on behalf of Taurus Investment Holdings, LLC, JLL arranged the 10-year, floating-rate loan through Freddie Mac’s Green Advantage program.

Originally completed in 1989, the property consists of one- and two-bedroom floor plans that feature spacious layouts, walk-in closets and options for duplex/loft units. Community amenities include a resort-style pool, outdoor grilling station, cardio-based fitness center, 24/7 laundry facility and covered parking. 251 North was more than 93% occupied at closing.
