JLL Capital Markets has provided $94.3 million in construction financing for the four-story, Class A multi-housing building in Pleasant Hill, California.
Bank OZK was responsible for providing senior financing on behalf of the borrower Gemdale USA, and Avalon Bay Communities was responsible for providing mezzanine financing.

The property, located at 85 Cleveland Road in the heart of downtown Pleasant Hill, is within walking distance of 350,000 square feet of retail space and several restaurants and a movie theater.

The new facility will boast a state-of-the art fitness center and clubroom, a courtyard with lounge seating, a roof deck with amenities, a co-working space and outdoor meeting rooms with fireplaces. As a result, the project will also have a resort-style atmosphere.
