 Mona Carlton

DALLAS, TX,  May 18, 2020  JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged a $181.54 million refinancing of four apartment communities totaling 1,489 units located around the Dallas area in North Texas.

JLL worked exclusively on behalf of the borrower, affiliates of Deerfield, Illinois-based Orion Residential Advisors (“Orion”), to secure four 10-year, fixed-rate loans through Freddie Mac.

Kristopher Lowe
The loans, which are structured to provide five years of interest only payments at a very competitive rate, will be serviced by Holliday Fenoglio Fowler LP, a JLL company and a Freddie Mac Optigo℠ lender.

 The new loans refinanced four variable-rate Freddie Mac acquisition loans that the deal team originally secured on Orion’s behalf in 2016.

The properties in the portfolio are Orion McKinney, a 453-unit community located in McKinney; Orion McCord Park, a 416-unit community located in Little Elm; Orion Prosper, a 312-unit community, and Orion Prosper Lakes, a 308-unit community, both located in Prosper.

The properties were completed between 2008 and 2012 with an average unit size of 883 square feet across the portfolio. 

The properties feature modern common area amenities, including resort-style pools, fully equipped fitness centers, outdoor entertaining areas and inviting club rooms, as well as access to nearby parks and jogging trails.

Dan Gumbiner
The JLL Capital Markets team representing the borrower was led by Senior Managing Director Mona Carlton and Director Kristopher Lowe.

“The refinance was critical to our long-term strategic plan for the portfolio,” said Orion President and CEO Dan Gumbiner, who led the effort on Orion’s behalf.

“We were determined to complete the transaction despite the current environment. Both JLL and Freddie Mac stood by us and completed the refinancing as originally contemplated. We could not be more pleased with the outcome,” concluded Gumbiner.

Park Square Homes Launches ‘Thrive,’ A New Home Collection Designed for First Time Buyers with Prices Starting from $229,990


Laurie Tarver
 ORLANDO, FL (May 18, 2020) – Central Florida’s premier residential and resort home builder, Park Square Homes, is launching a new collection of homes called “Thrive” created to appeal to first home buyers by focusing on quality construction, value engineering and design simplicity.

Park Square Homes has developed the Thrive collection to help address the rising demand for single family homes offered at a reasonable price.

“With four decades’ experience building homes in Central Florida, we recognize the need in our local area and understand the lack of affordable options,” said Laurie Tarver, Park Square Homes Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
Thrive showcases the latest design trends such as open living areas, stylish finishes, smart home technology and energy efficient construction. 

“Thrive provides a simpler way for our customers to buy their dream home,” continued Tarver. “These new homes come move-in ready.”

The Thrive collection will offer popular features with wide appeal such as modern color palettes, gorgeous tile flooring in all living areas and baths, granite counter tops, a choice of white, gray or wood stained cabinets, stainless kitchen appliances, large capacity refrigerator, washer and dryer, window treatments, 16 SEER a/c system, smart door locks, doorbell and thermostat and much more.”

By simplifying the buying process and focusing on affordability, Park Square Homes gives first home buyers the ability to close quickly with the added benefit of low monthly payments, sometimes less than rent.

With value engineering and space efficiency, the typical four-bedroom Thrive home can be built in 60 days, rather than the usual 90-120 days.

 “Our goal is to deliver a beautifully finished home that is move-in ready without the wait,” said Tarver.

With new homes starting from $229,990, Park Square Homes’ first Thrive community launches this month with pre-sales at Tarpon Bay in Haines City, located about 30 minutes south of Orlando. 

 For more information about Thrive, or to join the Tarpon Bay VIP list, please call (407) 529-3108 or visit Park Square Homes online at www.parksquarehomes.com.
