JLL Capital Markets has arranged a $13 million refinancing for Esjay Apartments, a 40-unit, mid-rise, luxury multi-housing community in the historic neighborhood of Van Vorst Park in Jersey City, New Jersey.
JLL represented the borrower, Point Capital Development, LLC, in arranging a 10-year, fixed-rate loan with Nationwide. Loan proceeds were used to refinance the existing construction loan.
Esjay Apartments contain one- and two-bedroom units averaging 680 square feet. Amenities at the property include a fitness center, two rooftop terraces with grilling stations, a secure package room and onsite covered parking.
Located at 104 Bright St., the community offers easy access to the convenience and amenities of downtown Jersey City while maintaining an upscale historic character enhanced by over a decade of master-planned redevelopment.
The JLL Capital Markets debt team that represented the borrower was led by director Matthew Pizzolato.
“Point Capital Development did a tremendous job developing this luxury multi-housing asset and it was evident as they were able to lease up the 40 units in several months with zero concessions in the middle of COVID,” said Pizzolato. “We were able to negotiate attractive terms with one of our correspondent life company relationships that allowed our borrower to lock in a sub-three percent interest rate for 10 years.”
