NEW JERSEY – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has secured the $97.25 million financing for Vinty, a 267-unit, Class A, mixed-use development in Elizabeth, New Jersey.

JLL worked on behalf of the borrower, LeCesse Development Corporation and MAS Development Group, to secure the five-year, senior floating-rate loan through an entity managed by Argentic Investment Management LLC (“Argentic”).

Delivered in 2022, Vinty consists of studio, one- and two-bedroom units, as well as 32,272 square feet of ground-floor retail and commercial space. The Property offers a community amenity package, including a fitness center, yoga/cycling studio, resort-style pool, outdoor summer kitchen, outdoor theater, community lounge, a golf simulator, dog park, co-working zone and more. The interior unit finishes feature quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, in-unit washers and dryers, wood-style plank flooring and large walk-in closets and bathrooms. The commercial space includes a 3,315-square-foot sous vide food hall, a high-end private office/co-working space and a Northfield Bank branch.

Located within an Opportunity Zone, Vinty sits at 100 Union Street, directly across the street from the New Jersey Transit Elizabeth Station. Two New Jersey Transit lines, the Northeast Corridor and North Jersey Coast Line, converge in Elizabeth to allow for superior accessibility to major employment hubs throughout New Jersey, as well as New York Penn Station. The property provides walkability to Broad Street and Morris Avenue, Elizabeth’s main downtown corridors, as well as nearby employment opportunities at Union County College, Trinitas Regional Medical Center, the Union County courthouse and more. Additionally, it is just four miles from Cranford and Westfield which features charming downtown areas with a variety of shops, boutiques and restaurants. 

The JLL Capital Markets Debt Advisory Team was led by Senior Managing Directors Michael Klein and Steven Klein, Director Gerard Quinn and Analyst Benjamin Morgenthal.

“Vinty represents the first phase of a transformational placemaking community for downtown Elizabeth.  Residents, businesses owners and the overall city will benefit from the vision and sense of community that MAS Development and LeCesse Development have created at Vinty for years to come,” said Michael Klein.

“Argentic quickly recognized the quality of product, including the spaciously appointed units, the abundance of community amenities and the connectivity between the residential and commercial spaces, that the borrower has created.  Argentic was able to provide a highly competitive deal structure that will allow MAS and LeCesse to continue to season the property,” said Steven Klein.

MORRISTOWN – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has closed the $77 million construction financing for Atlantica at Daytona, a 341-unit, luxury, garden-style multi-housing development in Daytona Beach, Florida.

JLL represented the borrower, a joint venture between Sovereign Properties and Invest Capital Group, to secure the three-year, 75% loan to cost, construction loan through Broadshore Capital Partners.

With first units set to open in October 2024, Atlantica at Daytona will feature one-, two- and three-bedroom units, averaging 981 square feet. Units will offer modern kitchens, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, white shaker cabinets with matte black finishes, wood-style vinyl plank flooring, and expansive screened patios and balconies. Community amenities will include a resort-style pool, a BBQ grill station, a screened lanai with a fireplace, bar and TVs, an outdoor summer kitchen, a dog park, a co-working space, a game room, a high-tech fitness center and more.

Located at 1799 North Williamson Blvd., the project sits just five minutes from the beach and only eight miles from the intersection of Interstate-95 (I-95) and Interstate-4 (I-4), two of the most trafficked roadways in Florida, providing residents connectivity to Tampa, Orlando and Jacksonville. Just four miles south of the property are the internationally recognized Daytona International Speedway and Daytona International Airport.

The JLL Capital Markets Debt Advisory team was led by Senior Managing Director Gregory Nalbandian, Senior Director Jesse Wright and Associate Joshua Odessky.

“While our clients, Sovereign Properties and Invest Capital Group, are very experienced multi-housing developers in Central Florida, this project marks their first development in Daytona Beach.  Broadshore did a terrific job understanding the strengths of the development in a very underserved market and delivered a very attractive 75% LTC, non-recourse, stretch senior construction loan at a time when lenders are significantly pulling back on construction financing,” stated Nalbandian.
