The JLL Capital Markets Sales and Advisory team representing the seller was led by Managing Directors Ken Delvillar and Jay Ballard. The team representing the borrower was led by Senior Managing Directors Melissa Marcolini Quinn and Lee Weaver with production support from Rob Rothaug and Emily Moallem.

“The Haven at West Melbourne received an overwhelming response in the market, as it represented an opportunity to implement an amenity and interior value-add program to one of the last assets completed within the prior development cycle back in 2010,” Delvillar said. “Having been institutionally owned for an extended period of time by Passco Companies, the asset’s tenant base was an attractive attribute due to high wages and education levels coupled with explosive property performance over the past couple of years and most notably over the prior two quarters.”

“While the property’s performance has remained at levels higher than the national average, JT Capital was able to recognize a unique value proposition due to their direct localized experience in the market and even within the neighborhood,” Quinn added. “We are very pleased to find our client a capital structure that suits their goals. The debt and equity financing is a non-recourse, interest only, floating-rate package with an interest rate cap and will allow a full modernization of the unit interiors and amenities. As long-term owners in the market, they are keenly conscious of the strong market growth fundamentals revolving around the local technology and space industries.”
