Lendlease, Aware Super Execute $200M Recapitalization of Boston and Chicago MF Portfolio

International property and investment group Lendlease has closed nearly $200 million in recapitalization loans on its multifamily assets in Boston and Chicago held through its U.S. investment vehicle with Aware Super.

In 2018, Lendlease and Aware Super, established a new $2 billion investment partnership to develop and hold multifamily assets in U.S. gateway cities. The properties that have been recapitalized were not disclosed. Lendlease worked with Japan’s Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC) and Singapore’s OCBC Bank to close the two deals.

“After the successful delivery of Clippership Wharf and The Cooper at Southbank, this recapitalization event was an important step to repatriate capital to reinvest in further multifamily development projects and assets across our key U.S. gateway cities through our partnership with Aware Super,” said Ben Byrne, portfolio manager at Lendlease. “We value the support of our international partners who trust our vision for the portfolio and who helped us reach this milestone.”
