 IRVINE, CA – JLL Capital has closed a $245 million portfolio financing for an iconic Napa Valley hotel property; three, Class A coastal Orange County retail centers; one, Class A multi-housing community located in San Diego’s Little Italy submarket; and a single-tenant showroom and restaurant space in downtown Yountville.

“Boardwalk was able to rate lock attractive, fixed-rate financing earlier this year, and we were pleased with the competitiveness of the real estate debt markets and smooth execution by our lending partners despite the volatile rate environment," said Kroger.
