HFF Secures Joint Venture Equity and Construction Financing for Luxury Mid-rise Multi-housing Development in Uptown Charlotte

2/16/17

Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced today that it has arranged joint venture equity and construction financing for the development of Montage, a six-story, 302-unit, luxury multi-housing development in Uptown Charlotte.

HFF worked on behalf of the developer, Proffitt Dixon Partners, to arrange joint venture equity with an affiliate of Creek Lane Capital, LLC, a Chicago-based real estate investment firm. In addition, HFF secured $46.5 million in construction financing for the partnership through Pacific Life Insurance Company.

Montage will be constructed on a 2.64-acre site at the corner of East Stonewall and South Davidson Streets just off Interstate 277 in Uptown Charlotte’s Stonewall corridor. The high-growth, live-work-play area will be home to approximately $2.7 billion in announced developments, including a 47,000-square-foot Whole Foods, which will be located between Bank of America Stadium and Presley Uptown. Montage will have 11,000 square feet of ground-floor retail and one-, two- and three-bedroom units averaging 830 square feet each. Units will be finished with 10-foot ceilings, expansive master closets, computer niche/workstations, stainless steel appliances, upgraded fixtures, pantry and linen closets, wood plank flooring and balconies/patios with views of downtown. On-site amenities will include an elevated saltwater swimming pool, resident lounge, club room, fenced dog park, multiple courtyards, grilling stations, bicycle repair and fitness center.

The HFF debt and equity placement team representing the developer was led by senior managing director Travis Anderson and associate director Cory Fowler.

“With all of the development activity in the works, the Stonewall area is turning into the newest live-work-play corridor in Charlotte and the Montage is uniquely positioned in the heart of it all,” Anderson said. “Similar to the Presley Uptown, which was developed by Proffitt Dixon Partners, Montage will offer best-in-class finishes with a unique and thoughtful amenity package.”
