JLL Capital Markets announced that it has secured a $43.6 million financing for McAlpine Vista, a 320-unit surface-parked multifamily project located in Charlotte, North Carolina.
JLL worked on behalf of the borrower, Vista Residential Partners, in arranging the three-year, non-recourse floating-rate construction loan through Hartford Investment Management Company (HIMCO).
Vista Residential Partners (VRP) is an industry leader committed to developing high-quality, innovative communities that meet growing housing needs while providing strong returns to investors. Through strategic site selection and development, VRP targets multifamily and mixed-use opportunities in submarkets with favorable supply and demand dynamics to maximize investor returns.
With the future location at 8011 Krenfeld Drive, McAlpine Vista will offer excellent access to major job and retail centers in the Charlotte Metro via convenient connections to I-485 loop and NC-74. The planned development will benefit from Charlotte’s strong job growth over the past decade, particularly in technology and finance, with Uptown Charlotte and South Park both within a 20-minute drive. Future residents will enjoy proximity to major employers such as Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Coca Cola and Harris Teeter’s corporate headquarters, as well as direct trail access to the McAlpine Creek Park and Greenway Trail.
Charlotte, North Carolina, a top 10 ULI Market to Watch, boasts the nation’s second-largest banking center and is rapidly emerging as a leading tech hub, with 15 Fortune 1000 headquarters. The city’s economic diversity and growth potential are evident in its projected 50% population increase by 2050 and its ranking among the top 10 fastest-growing large metros in the U.S. Charlotte’s global connectivity is underscored by its international airport, the 7th busiest worldwide, offering 170 nonstop destinations and solidifying the city’s position as a prime target for institutional investors in non-gateway markets.
Spanning 14.8 acres, McAlpine Vista will feature split-style buildings offering a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom units, with a projected completion date of September 2026. The development will showcase luxurious living spaces characterized by open, spacious floorplans and high-end finishes. Residents will enjoy quartz countertops, luxury plank flooring, stainless steel appliances, contemporary shaker-style cabinetry and full-size washers and dryers in every apartment, with select units boasting kitchen islands. The community amenities will include an expansive 7,750-square-foot clubhouse housing a fitness center, co-working spaces and a club room with fireplaces and games, complemented by a resort-style pool.
