BOSTON, MA – HFF announced today that it has arranged $114.7
million in financing for One Greenway, a to-be-built, Class A
multi-housing property located along the southern end of the Rose Kennedy
Greenway in Boston’s Chinatown neighborhood.
HFF
worked on behalf of the borrower, an affiliate of New Boston Fund, Inc., Urban
Strategy America Fund LP, and the Asian Community Development Corporation to
secure the $104 million construction loan through PNC Bank, People’s United
Bank, and Boston Private Bank & Trust.
HFF also arranged a $10.7 million equity investment from
National Real Estate Advisors.
Due for completion in Summer 2015, One
Greenway’s North Building will consist of the following components: a 21-story, 217-unit market-rate
rental unit tower portion, a 10-story, mid-rise portion with 95 affordable-rate
rental units, a 135-space, below-grade parking garage, and approximately 3,300
square feet of retail and 5,000 square feet of community space.
Also included in the development is a new 1/3 of an acre
public park. The 1.5-acre site is
located at the intersection of Kneeland and Hudson Streets adjacent to the Rose
Kennedy Greenway and close to the Financial District and South Station.
