JLL Capital Markets announced that it has secured a $53.4 million bridge financing for an 877-unit, seven-property Vintage Apartment Portfolio. The multifamily portfolio located in Spartanburg and Mauldin, South Carolina.
JLL represented the borrowers, Machine Investment Group and Prospect Lane in securing the three-year, floating-rate loan.
The attractive demographics of the region, with a population growth of over 500,000 in the past decade and a net migration of 94,000+ residents in 2022 alone make it a compelling destination for businesses. Greenville’s economic growth has been strongly influenced by key drivers such as BMW’s expansive Plant Spartanburg, Michelin’s North American Headquarters and Inland Port Greer.
The 70%-occupied, 1971-1986 vintage apartment portfolio, has 139 newly renovated units and the Sponsor plans to remodel an additional 300. The restorations will include updates to in-unit features like new cabinet faces, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, light fixtures and non-carpet flooring. Additionally, the exterior of the complexes will get updated roofs, parking lots, sidewalks, exterior painting, HVAC systems and security camera installations.
JLL Capital Market’s Debt Advisory team representing the borrower was spearheaded by Senior Managing Director Jamie Leachman and Directors Jonah Aelyon and Carter Wroblewski.
