$47,500,000 Construction Financing for a Ground-Up, Single-Family Build-to-Rent Development; La Quinta, CA

All Terms Confidential

Transaction Description:

George Smith Partners arranged $47,500,000 in construction financing for the development of a single-family build-to-rent community in La Quinta, within Southern California’s Coachella Valley on behalf of Shopoff Realty Investments. Spanning 18 acres, the Project features 131 units, averaging approximately 2,000 SF per unit. The Sponsor completed entitlements on the infill site over the last few years and secured the financing to commence construction.

Build-to-rent communities have gained significant traction due to, on average, high absorption rates and attractive rental premiums over comparative products. Demand has grown significantly, making it the fastest growing asset class in the U.S. housing market. The Sponsor, a best-in-class developer based in Southern California, recognized the opportunity to capitalize on the booming asset class. GSP was able to identify a lender who understood the investment potential of the high-growth submarket, as well as the Sponsor’s strong local knowledge and expertise in the BTR industry.
