Dallas-based homebuilder Zale Properties has obtained a $58.3 million construction loan from JLL Capital Markets to begin work on The View at Sapphire Bay.
JLL Capital Markets secured the eight-year, fixed-rate financing from Principal Global Investors, according to Multi-Housing News. The 394-unit community is underway in Rowlett, Texas.
JLL Senior Managing Director John Brownlee, together with Director Wilson Bauer, arranged the financing. JLL Capital Markets recently brokered another sale of a 228-unit community in downtown Dallas.
Located at 30 Dalrock Road within Sapphire Bay – previously known as Bayside – a 116-acre, mixed-use development, the community is taking shape approximately 21 miles northeast of downtown Dallas and is slated for delivery in May 2024. It has been in the works for more than five years and is being developed by Sapphire Bay Land Development LLC and the city of Rowlett.
Numerous dining and retail options are available less than 1 mile north, according to the publication. The apartment community was also designed by JHP Architecture, a Dallas-based architect.
