New multi-housing community development near Charleston capitalized

28 July 2021

JLL Capital Markets announced that it has assisted in arranging equity and construction financing for the development of Preserve at Ridgeville Apartments, a 240-unit, mid-rise, garden-style multi-housing community in the Charleston-area community of Ridgeville, South Carolina.

JLL represented the development team of Piedmont Private Equity and Ecstatic Properties, which is lead by John Cattano, in arranging the equity partnership with American South Real Estate Fund; local Charleston equity with Material Capital Partners and Altriarch Capital; and the construction loan with Churchill Stateside Group, LLC.

Once completed, the three-story property will feature top-of-the-market unit amenities and best-in-class community amenities, including a resort-style pool, state-of-the-art health club with virtual classes by Fitness on Demand, a Bark Park with pet washing area and a putting green.

Located at 1050 Old Gilliard Rd., it is the closest multi-housing property to the Santee Cooper industrial park Camp Hall featuring the Volvo Car US plant and is poised to capitalize on the rapid job growth in the submarket. 

The JLL Capital Markets debt and equity team that represented the developer was led by Director John Gavigan.
