IRVINE, CA - HFF announced it has arranged $25.2 million in financing for Elan Gateway, a newly-completed, 240-unit, luxury multi-housing community in St. Petersburg, Florida.

               HFF worked on behalf of the borrower, Thackeray Partners and Greystar, to secure the seven-year, 3.94 percent, fixed-rate loan through a life insurance company.  The loan was used as a forward take-out for the construction financing and was rate locked approximately nine months prior to stabilization. 

               Completed in 2013, Elan Gateway offers one- and two-bedroom units within 10 residential buildings.  Community amenities include a wellness center, two swimming pools, business center, coffee bar, BBQ areas, billiards room and dog run.

  Elan Gateway is located at 11800 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Street North across the bay from the Tampa International Airport and close to the Tampa Bay waterfront, St. Pete Beach and Interstate 275.  The property is 94 percent leased.

               The HFF debt placement team representing the borrower was led by senior managing director Kevin MacKenzie and senior real estate analyst Andrew Tighe.

               “The sponsorship was able to think ahead strategically and go to market in parallel with starting the leasing process.  Following an aggressive marketing effort, the result was a loan that fit within the business plan providing for debt and equity take-out, as well as maintaining enough flexibility to exit in the desired time-frame,” said MacKenzie.
