SAN FRANCISCO, June 18, 2026 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged $60.5 million in construction financing and additional joint venture equity for the development of Project Oak Hill, an 85-residence, for-sale luxury condominium in the heart of downtown Lafayette, California.
On behalf of Diamond Construction, the Bay Area’s premier developer of design-driven luxury residences and a fully vertically integrated builder whose in-house control of design, construction and delivery gave its capital partners added confidence in the project’s execution, JLL arranged the construction loan with Centennial Bank and secured PCCP as the joint venture equity partner.
Scheduled for completion in summer 2028, Oak Hill will deliver a meticulously crafted collection of 23 one-bedroom, 41 two-bedroom and 21 three-bedroom residences, including 11 below-market-rate units, along with 2,000 square feet of ground-floor retail. The project will feature striking contemporary architecture, bespoke high-end finishes and a resort-caliber amenity collection that includes a golf simulator, a private conference room, an elegantly appointed library, an indoor and outdoor fitness center, communal landscaped outdoor living rooms and workspaces, a Japanese-inspired Zen garden, fire pits, a private dog run, a bike-share program, and a private, elevated outdoor lounge framing views of Mt. Diablo. Consistent with Diamond Construction’s uncompromising commitment to quality and design, Oak Hill will carry the same impeccable craftsmanship and luxury finish that have made the developer the premier name in design-driven living across the Bay Area.
Located in the heart of downtown Lafayette, Oak Hill places residents just steps from the city’s celebrated collection of acclaimed restaurants, wine bars, cafes, and boutiques along Mt. Diablo Boulevard. The Lafayette BART station sits only steps from the front door, putting residents aboard a direct train that reaches Embarcadero,San Francisco’s first stop across the bay, in roughly 30 minutes, while Highway 24 offers seamless regional connectivity across the Bay Area. The project also benefits from access to top-rated public schools, a key driver of long-term residential demand.
