Portland, OR – August 25, 2016 – CBRE Capital Markets’ Debt & Structured Finance team partnered with Cascadia Development Partners and HomeStreet Bank on the successful arrangement of a $29.5 million construction loan for Uptown Apartments, a 167-unit apartment project located in Vancouver, Washington.
Nick Santangelo of CBRE’s Portland office arranged financing on behalf of ownership, The Uptown Living, LLC. HomeStreet Bank provided a 30-month floating rate loan with two six-month extension options.
The construction period is expected to take approximately 14 months and will include studios and a variety of one- and two-bedroom floor plans. The finished project will be situated on one full city block in downtown Vancouver with excellent access to local area amenities and transportation routes. The community will also feature a retail space on the ground floor, which will drive additional foot traffic to the area, along with the site’s walk score of 91 and prime location to Vancouver’s Central Business District.
The Uptown Apartments will be an exciting addition to the growing submarket of Vancouver and is well-timed considering the planned development of Vancouver’s Waterfront Park. The urban redevelopment project will emphasize public open spaces, parks, public art, and a high-density mix of office, retail, and residential product just minutes from the subject property.
