 DENVER, CO– JLL Capital Markets has arranged term acquisition financing for Walnut Tower, a 180-unit, high-rise multi-housing community located in downtown Kansas City, Missouri.

Community amenities include a clubhouse, a roof terrace with cityscape views, fitness center, lounge, package service and controlled access, among others.

 The property presents an opportunity for significant potential, as Walnut Tower is a Class B asset in an A+ location.

 The joint venture has programmed a comprehensive business plan to further position Walnut Tower as the premier attainable housing community in downtown Kansas City.

The business plan includes renovations to unit interiors and common area activation, along with a change of management.

 “We are ecstatic to launch our joint venture with Walnut Tower,” said Josh Simon, Principal of Infinite Waters. “The asset and its position in the market really resonated with our acquisition criteria and investors.

“JLL helped us navigate these choppy capital markets by laying out all our financing options to ensure we were in position to make calculated investment and financing decisions that aligned with our business plan on Walnut Tower.

"We had a tremendous experience with the JLL Capital Markets team lead by William Haass.”

 Situated at 722 Walnut St., Walnut Tower is ideally located in the high-growth and revitalized Downtown Kansas City submarket.

 Walnut Tower is walkable to the burgeoning Kansas City River Market, offering waterfront shopping and distinctive gourmet dining options, along with the Power and Light District, which is one of Kansas City’s top entertainment districts.

The JLL Capital Markets Debt Advisory team representing the borrower was led by Director William Haass.

 “Walnut Tower is a great example of how buyers can still achieve accretive financing in the current environment,” said Haass,

“The property’s natural affordability made it an exceptional candidate for agency financing, with both Fannie and Freddie offering numerous credit waivers on their initial quotes, allowing for Peakview Investments and Infinite Waters to take advantage of an accretive blend of interest-only term and proceeds.”
