JLL Capital Markets arranged acquisition financing for the apartments
DALLAS, Feb. 3, 2021 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged acquisition financing for Chartwell Court, a multi-housing property located in Houston, Texas.
JLL worked on behalf of the borrower, REEP Equity, to originate the12-year, fixed-rate Fannie Mae loan. The loan will be serviced by JLL Real Estate Capital, LLC, a Fannie Mae DUS lender.
Originally built in 1995, Chartwell Court offers ample value-add opportunity for REEP Equity, who plans to renovate 40% of unit interiors and the property’s exterior.

Other renovations include the addition of a package room with lockers; updates to clubhouse and business center/coffee bar; creation of a dog park; adding a pergola and grill; new furniture to the grilling and pool area; and overall enhancement of the landscaping around the property.
Located at 15100 Ella Blvd., the garden-style property is positioned in the popular Houston-Woodlands area. Chartwell Court has connectivity to all of Houston’s major employment centers and economic drivers – such as Pinto Business Park, George Bush Intercontinental Airport, Springwoods Village, the North Houston District and The Woodlands – via being just one mile from I-45 North.
