San Mateo, Calif.—NorthMarq Capital’s San Francisco regional office has arranged a construction loan for the development of a 108-unit community located at 2889 East Kyne Street in San Mateo, Calif.

Dennis Williams, managing director at NorthMarq, arranged the loan. Financing was based on a 36-month interest-only term and was placed with a regional bank.

“The lender provided attractive construction loan terms that included a flexible loan amount with attractive pricing,” Williams says.

Field House is being developed by a partnership consisting of Stockbridge and Wilson Meany. BDE Architecture designed the community, which is slated to open in late 2014. Amenities include two landscaped courtyards, a community room, outdoor spa, fitness center, pool and bike storage.
