JLL marketed the property on behalf of the seller and worked on behalf of the new owner to land an acquisition loan through an unidentified life insurance firm. In a statement, the brokerage noted that Redwood purchased the asset free and clear of existing debt from Proffitt Dixon Partners.
Justin Good, Jeff Glenn, Allan Lynch and Caylor Mark led the JLL Capital Markets team that represented the seller. Travis Anderson and Cory Fowler led the debt placement team at HFF that represented the new owner. HFF was acquired by JLL after the deal was secured.
The Carlyle Group provided joint venture equity capital for the development in 2016, while TD Bank provided a $29.9 million construction loan.
