Led by Senior Managing Director Michael Gigliotti, and Directors Robert Tonnessen and Brian Buglione, the JLL team secured $38.5 million in financing through Ladder Capital.
District IV is part of the recently rebranded District at King Farm, which is comprised of four assets totaling over 750,000 square feet of office and retail space.
