Nema Chicago Tower Lands $340M Refi Ahead of Completion
Crescent Heights, which is developing Chicago’s tallest apartment building, has refinanced the project with a $340-million loan months before completing the project, Crain’s Chicago Business reported. The lender on Crescent Heights’ 76-story Nema Chicago was reportedly KKR Real Estate Finance Trust, which announced the loan on Monday but didn’t identify the borrower.
The new loan allows Miami-based Crescent Heights to pay off the project’s original construction financing of about $328 million, and lock-in a lower interest rate, the developer’s Casey Klein told Crain’s.
One of several new multifamily projects in the South Loop, Nema Chicago is about 35% leased. Crescent Heights expects to complete construction this fall.
The KKR mortgage REIT also said that it provided a $186-million loan on a new 492-unit apartment building in Chicago. It didn’t identify the property, but Crain’s noted that the only project matching that description is Fifield’s 727 W. Madison St.
Connect Texas Multifamily will take place August 15, 2019 in Dallas. For more information, or to register, click here.
