First Street Napa Office-Retail Complex, Downtown Napa, CA

Peter Smyslowski

SAN FRANCISCO, CA –– HFF announces the $42 million refinancing of First Street Napa, a 142,026-square-foot, mixed-use retail and creative office property spanning three blocks in downtown Napa, California.

The HFF team worked on behalf of the borrower, Zapolski Real Estate, LLC and Trademark Property Company to secure the floating-rate loan through ACORE Capital, LP. 

 Loan proceeds will be used to pay off the development construction loan and provide an unfunded facility to complete the lease up of the remaining tenant suites.

The property is part of a newly constructed 325,000-square-foot, Class A, mixed-use development that comprises 45 high-end retail shops, new state-of-the-art creative office space and a 183-room, boutique Archer Hotel, which was not a part of the financing.  

Bercut Smith
Centrally located in Downtown Napa, the property is within walking distance of hotels, restaurants, wine tasting rooms and entertainment venues and it covers three city blocks along First Street, the major vehicular artery into Downtown Napa, the gateway to Napa Valley. 

 First Street Napa offers a blend of regional, national and international retail that the market demands, elevating Napa from first-class to world-class.

The HFF debt placement team representing the borrower included senior managing director Peter Smyslowski and associate Bercut Smith.

“Though lenders continue to underwrite retail opportunities very selectively, the interest to provide the takeout financing was tremendous and it is a testament to the development team’s vision,” Smyslowski said.

Kyle Jeffers
“We are thrilled to be lending to two high quality sponsors on an innovative retail project that will further transform the area,” said Kyle Jeffers, managing director at ACORE.

HFF announces capital raise for The Vineyards at Brookfield in Long Island, NY


Evan Pariser
NEW YORK, NY –– Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announces the capital raise for The Vineyards of Brookfield, a to-be-built, 146-home, age-restricted (55+) townhome community with a total project cost of $58 million in the Long Island community of Center Moriches, New York.

The HFF team worked on behalf of the developer, Ornstein Leyton Company (OLC), to secure an investment from Atalaya Capital Management (Atalaya), a New York City-based investment manager, to develop the property.

The Vineyards at Brookfield will be situated on approximately 29 acres near the intersection of Brookfield Avenue and Wading River Road.  

The project will be less than half of a mile south of Sunrise Highway and adjacent to The Vineyards at Moriches, a 92-unit, active adult retirement community also developed by Ornstein Leyton Company.  

Rob Hinckley
The Vineyards at Brookfield will be completed in two phases, the first of which will deliver in 2019. 

 The gated community will feature a state-of-the-art clubhouse and outdoor recreational facilities featuring amenities, including a lounge, billiards room, card room, kitchen, fitness center, yoga studio, heated swimming pool, and bocce and pickle ball courts.

The HFF equity placement team representing the developer included senior managing director Evan Pariser, managing director Rob Hinckley and senior director David Fowler.

Vineyards at Brookfield is the fourth installment of the highly successful Vineyards-branded, OLC development line in the area,” Hinckley said. 

David B. Fowler
"The project takes advantage of the downsizing needs of the area’s aging population. 

"Atalaya proposed a favorable common equity structure to invest in the project given the attractive risk-return profile.  We look forward to seeing the project’s success unfold over the next several years.”
