DENVER, July 8, 2024 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it secured $11.96 million in acquisition financing for Eastglen Apartments, a 102-unit multi-housing property in Longmont, Colorado.

JLL worked on behalf of the borrower, a joint venture between Two Arrows Group and LEM Capital, to secure the five-year, fixed-rate loan through the Freddie Mac Targeted Affordable Housing team. The loan will be serviced by Jones Lang LaSalle Multifamily, LLC, a Freddie Mac Optigo℠ lender.

Situated in the Denver MSA, Longmont is conveniently positioned between Denver and Fort Collins along Interstate 25. The property, located at 630 Lashley St., is within a four-mile radius of several national and local retailers, such as The Home Depot, Starbucks, Walmart Supercenter, Sam's Club, Costco, Target and King Soopers. It is also a short drive to downtown Longmont, which offers a vibrant atmosphere with its combination of historic architecture, boutique shops, art galleries and diverse culinary options.
