WASHINGTON, DC –– Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF)
announces it has arranged construction financing and joint venture equity
totaling $65.44 million for the development of The Stella, a 282-unit,
transit-oriented multi-housing community located within a designated
opportunity zone in New Carrollton, Maryland.

HFF worked on behalf of the
developer, Urban Atlantic, to secure a $46.56 million construction loan through
TD Bank and $18.88 million in joint venture equity from Bridge Investment
Group.
The Stella is located at 3950
Garden City Drive at the New Carrollton Metro Station, which is the
terminus of the Orange and Purple lines.
Less than five miles
outside of Washington, D.C., the opportunity zone project is the second phase
of Urban Atlantic’s 34-acre, 2.3 million-square-foot New Carrollton Metro
redevelopment and will serve as the first multi-housing asset within the master
plan.
The Stella, which
sits on a ground lease, will feature a podium-style design with 282 studio
through three-bedroom floor plans totaling 218,692 rentable square feet along
with 3,500 square feet of ground-floor retail.
Units will offer
high-end amenities, including quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances,
plank flooring, walk-in closets, nine-foot ceilings and in-unit washers and
dryers.

Community amenities
will include a swimming pool, common outdoor terraces, club room, game room,
fitness center, co-working space, private entertaining room and terrace, coffee
bar and dog wash station.
The project is due for completion in the fourth
quarter of 2020.
The HFF debt and equity placement
team representing the developer included Walter Coker, Brian Crivella, Jamie
Leachman and Evan Parker.
“The Stella represents one of the
marquee developments in the region,” Leachman said. “The site is located
within an opportunity zone and adjacent to the New Carrollton metro
station.
"These factors,
coupled with the involvement of a premier developer like Urban Atlantic, drew a
tremendous amount of interest from institutional groups looking to capitalize
on the new tax laws.”
“We are proud to be a part of the
Urban Atlantic's commitment to provide new high-end housing for Maryland's
citizens,” said John Howell, vice president for TD Bank.
“This project will
help address the critical need for transit-oriented housing in close proximity
to Washington, D.C. TD’s investment in making a positive impact is a part
of what makes TD Bank different.”
