Newmark, as exclusive advisor to Signature Development Group, secured $130 million in construction financing for the development of Brooklyn Basin – Parcel G in Oakland, California (“Project”). The Project is fully entitled for 371 multifamily apartment homes and 31,000 square feet of retail on an approximately 2.67-acre parcel (Parcel G) in the Brooklyn Basin master plan development.
Newmark’s Vice Chairman Ramsey Daya and Senior Managing Director Chris Moritz of the Debt & Structured Finance team in the San Francisco office represented the borrower in the financing efforts and the construction loan was placed with Bank OZK.
The 63-acre Brooklyn Basin master development, the Project boasts an incomparable location along Oakland’s waterfront, providing residents a serene and tranquil environment unmatched by any other rental community in the East Bay.
The Project will offer tenants an extensive amenity package, including a fitness center, club house, large outdoor courtyard and a roof deck with views of the San Francisco Bay.
“Even with the pandemic-driven challenges posed to the multifamily market, Parcel G’s exceptional location and unique offering for tenants presented a compelling opportunity for lenders. This, combined with the strength and experience of the sponsor, resulted in significant interest from the debt markets,” says Moritz.
