Christopher Peck

 NEW YORK, NY – JLL’s Capital Markets group has secured the $262 million construction financing for E11EVEN^® Residences Beyond, a 65-story condominium development in Miami, Florida.

The project will include over 550 luxury condominium units, 13,861 square feet of retail and 204 parking spaces.

 

JLL worked on behalf of the borrower, Property Markets Group, to secure the 3.5-year, floating-rate loan through Madison Realty Capital.

 

Chris Drew

JLL’s Capital Markets Debt Advisory Team was led by Senior Managing Directors Christopher Peck and Chris Drew, Managing Director Brian Gaswirth, Director Alex Staikos and Associate Jimmy Calvo.

“This is an exciting time in District 11, and despite market turmoil, lenders were eager to work with a best-in-class developer like PMG on a project that will stand out in an exhilarating new neighborhood that appeals to residents and visitors alike,” said Peck.

 

Brian Gaswirth

“The transaction is further evidence that attractive financing is available for sophisticated projects in the right location, and we were thrilled to work with both parties to close this loan.”

 

With an anticipated completion of 2026, E11EVEN^® Residences Beyond will feature private resort-style amenities, such as an expansive gym, spa, rooftop lounge, pool, private rooftop helipad and a 150-foot bridge connecting the project with E11EVEN^® Hotel and Residences.

Alex Staikos

Located in the heart of Downtown Miami’s District 11 at 50-90 N.E. 11th St., the project benefits from direct access to I-395 and I-95, providing ease of travel to Miami Beach, Wynwood, Brickell, Miami International Airport, the Port of Miami and a multitude of other prime local destinations.

 

The community will provide residents an urban, walkable lifestyle with instant access to Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, the Perez Art Museum and the Frost Museum of Science, as well as the Miami Worldcenter, a 27-acre, mixed-use development with 300,000 square feet of newly built retail, dining, shopping and entertainment venues.

EverWest Continues Atlanta Investment Push with Infill Industrial Buy

 

Tyler Williams

 ATLANTA, GA – Within weeks of completing an industrial buy in Ellenwood, Georgia, leading real estate investment advisor EverWest Real Estate Investors (“EverWest”) has announced another metro Atlanta industrial acquisition, totaling 21.1 acres of land and two recently completed, fully speculative state-of-the-art distribution buildings.

Britton Burdette

The purchase continues EverWest’s investment push in the Atlanta market, with a focus on strategically located warehouse product and low-coverage land sites for Industrial Outdoor Storage (IOS).

The JLL team of Britton Burdette, Dennis Mitchell, Matt Wirth, Mitchell Townsend and Jim Freeman brokered the transaction between EverWest and InLight, the project’s developer.

The new EverWest asset is located at 9485 Highway 42 North in Rex, Georgia, directly fronting Highway 42 and less than one mile from I-675, which offers quick access to I-75, I-285 and the Hartfield-Jackson International Airport.

Dennis Mitchell

It includes two brand new, Class A industrial distribution buildings totaling 268,400 square feet and situated on a large site zoned for light industrial use.

“This property offers tremendous flexibility and upside through the lease up of space at current market rents,” said Tyler Williams, EverWest Managing Director of Southeast Acquisitions.

“The buildings were delivered in turnkey condition with spec office suites available to quickly accommodate tenant demand, and with features that make them ideal for small and midsize users.”

Matt Wirth

Totaling 130,000 square feet and 138,400 square feet, the Rex distribution buildings offer 32’ clear height, LED lighting, ESFR sprinklers, wide columns and 72 dock-high and four drive-in doors in a rear-load configuration.

They also have features attractive to small and midsize users such as 200’ building depths, above-market dock ratios and various storefronts to provide flexibility for single or multiple tenants.

“Most new construction in the I-675 and Airport corridor has been bulk facilities greater than 500,000 square feet, and existing inventory consists of Class B space with lower clear heights,” said Williams.

Mitchell Townsend 

“Our buildings capitalize on the supply-demand imbalance for high-quality, modern infill product servicing smaller tenants.”

 EverWest currently has $5.2 billion in assets under management, invested through separately managed accounts and commingled funds.

 It provides investment management services including acquisitions, asset management, development and property management for assets throughout the U.S.

JLL closes $80 million land recapitalization and vertical equity capitalization for mixed-use development in Brooklyn, NY

 

 NEW YORK, NY, June 7, 2023 – JLL Capital Markets has closed an $80 million land recapitalization and arranged the equity capitalization for the development of a mixed-use community located at 499 President Street in Gowanus, Brooklyn.

 

 The community will feature 350 luxury apartments and approximately 20,000 square feet of ground-floor retail.

Christopher Peck

JLL arranged the joint venture that will develop and operate the property. The joint venture is a partnership between The Brodsky Organization, Avery Hall Investments and Battery Global Advisors.

 

Upon completion in 2025, the nine-story development will feature 262 (75%) market rate units and 88 (25%) affordable apartments and be one of the final New York City developments constructed under the Affordable New York Program.

  

499 President Street is located at the border of Gowanus and Park Slope, which is surrounded by the brownstone neighborhoods of Boerum Hill and Carroll Gardens.

 

The JLL Capital Markets Advisory team was led by Senior Managing Director, Christopher Peck, Director, Nicco Lupo, and Vice President, Jonathan Faxon.

“The recent rezoning has paved the way for the transformation of Gowanus from a predominantly industrial neighborhood to a vibrant new community of homes, open space and dynamic retail,” said Peck.

 

Nicco Lupo

“499 President Street sits at the heart of that transformation, which positions the development to benefit from positive tailwinds in the multifamily housing market.”

About The Brodsky Organization

 

The Brodsky Organization is one of Manhattan's most established developers, owners, and managers of residential and commercial spaces in New York City.

The company has developed over 10,000 apartments in more than 85 rental, condominium, and co-op buildings.

 

The neighborhoods span from West and Greenwich Village to Chelsea, Midtown West to Morningside Heights, and Midtown East to Carnegie Hill and Downtown Brooklyn.
