JLL Capital Markets announced that it has arranged $53 million in acquisition financing for Circa at FishHawk Ranch, a 260-unit, Class A, garden-style multihousing community in the Tampa MSA community of Lithia, Florida.
JLL worked on behalf of the borrower, GMF Capital, to secure the three-year, floating-rate loan through Sound Point Capital Management, LP.
Circa at FishHawk Ranch comprises studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom units averaging 1,045 square feet. Units feature gourmet kitchens, air conditioning, dishwashers, fireplaces and electronic thermostats. The community features a fitness center, pool with cabanas, clubhouse, courtyard, pat play area, picnic area, business center, bike storage and conference rooms.
Located at 13930 Spector Road, in the master-planned community of FishHawk Ranch, the property is proximate to an abundance of convenience retail, including the adjacent Alafia Commons, a new Publix Supermarket-anchored shopping center. Circa at FishHawk Ranch offers excellent connectivity near Fishhawk Boulevard, Lithia Pinecrest Road, Highway 301 and Interstate 75 providing access to all demand drivers within the Tampa Bay MSA and the west coast of Florida.
