Significant development to include 273 apartments, ground-floor retail and numerous amenities
Trez Capital, a private real estate lender in North America, funded a $70 million first mortgage construction loan for the Block 40 development in downtown Hollywood. Block 40 is under construction on the city’s Young Circle, which is a focal point in Hollywood’s overall revitalization.
The transaction closed on Feb. 17, 2021. Block 40, LLC is the borrower.
Located at 1818 Hollywood Blvd., Block 40 is a 19-story project with 273 rental units and 20,779 square feet of ground-floor retail. The apartments will have Class A finishes, and the project will feature two sets of high-end amenities.
“Block 40 will be a linchpin in the continued evolution of Hollywood,” said Brett Forman, Executive Managing Director, Eastern U.S., Trez Capital “We are big believers in the potential of the city, especially its downtown. Trez Capital remains bullish on multi-family projects throughout Florida.”
The Block 40 transactions comes just a few weeks after Trez Capital closed a $15.61 million construction loan for The Harbor at Town Center in the Tampa Bay area submarket of Madeira Beach. The Harbor at Town Center is a luxury condominium project being developed on a 4.25-acre waterfront site.
Elsewhere in Florida, Trez Capital recently funded a $4.6 million lot development loan for a new residential community in DeLand in Central Florida. It also announced the successful payoff of an $80 million construction loan for the mixed-use Truist Plaza (f/k/a SunTrust Plaza) project in downtown Orlando.
Trez Capital provides short-term debt and equity financing typically between six months and 36 months in term, ranging from $5 million to more than $100 million in loan value.
