Kaplan Cos. has secured nearly $27 million in financing for a newly built, 128-unit apartment property in Ocean County, in a newly completed deal by JLL.
According to the debt placement team, Nuveen Real Estate provided the five-year, fixed-rate loan in connection with Camelot at Toms River. Proceeds will support the upscale development at 100 Kaplan Court, which the builder unveiled last spring as the second phase of a development about two miles from Route 9.
JLL Senior Managing Director Michael Klein, Managing Director Matthew Pizzolato and Senior Analyst Salvatore Buzzerio led the team sourcing the $26.8 million deal.
“JLL is pleased to have worked with the Kaplan team once again to secure short-term permanent financing,” Klein said. “This will enable them to season a recently constructed Class A community before putting long term debt on the property allowing them to theoretically lock in a lower interest rate as market conditions improve.”
Located off Hooper Avenue, Camelot at Toms River has a mix of luxury one- and two-bedroom units and amenities such as a 2,098-square-foot clubhouse, a high-end fitness center, a yoga room, a heated swimming pool, a grilling and fire pit area and a dog park, JLL said. The firm added that 26 of the 128 units have been reserved as affordable housing.
Residents, meantime, are minutes from the Garden State Parkway and Route 9 and within two miles of County Road 549, which serves as the primary north-south commuting route. Roughly 20 minutes from the property is NJ Transit’s Bayhead train station, providing connectivity to New York Penn Station, Newark and Newark Liberty International Airport.
