JLL Capital Markets announced that it secured a $58 million loan for the refinance of Arya Apartments, a newly built 119-unit Class A multifamily community in the greater Culver City submarket of Los Angeles, California.
JLL represented the borrower, Helio Group, in arranging the floating rate loan with Canyon Partners Real Estate.
Arya benefits from its desirable location within the greater Culver City submarket of Los Angeles, an area supported by a robust employment base and an abundance of attractive retail, dining, and entertainment offerings. Notably, Pizzeria Sei, which ranked second on the “50 Top Pizza” list of best pizzerias in the U.S. in 2025, is slated to open its second location on the ground floor of Arya.
Residents of Arya Apartments enjoy a premium amenity package including a penthouse-level fitness center with Technogym equipment, an expansive rooftop lounge with BBQ areas, a co-work lounge with conference room, EV charging stations and a future rooftop pool.
JLL Capital Market’s Debt Advisory team was led by Senior Managing Director Jeff Sause, Director Chad Morgan, Associate Jacob Michael and Analyst Danny Ryan.
“We continue to see heightened competition in today’s lending environment driven by strong sponsorship and quality, well-located assets,” said Sause. “Helio Group’s successes transforming this micro market with best-in-class product made Arya a very attractive opportunity for lenders.”
Helio Group is a vertically integrated real estate investment and development company led by Simon Lazar and Sam Mostadim with extensive experience in the immediate submarket. Arya represents one of five Helio-developed multifamily projects located in the Greater Culver City submarket since 2018.
