DALLAS, July 9, 2026 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has secured a $76.8 million construction financing for a 415-unit mixed-use development project in Jacksonville Beach, Florida.
JLL represented the borrower, Trevato Development Group, in securing the four-year, floating-rate loan through Ameris Bank.
The development, located at 1944 Beach Blvd. in Jacksonville Beach, will also include 1,800 square feet of retail along Beach Boulevard. The development, which broke ground on July 1, will be the area's first new luxury high-end residential rental community in decades.
The Class A multifamily community will offer a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom units averaging 989 square feet, all designed with premium finishes and coastal-inspired architecture. Residents will enjoy resort-style amenities including multiple courtyards, a pool complex with cabanas and sun shelf, fitness centers, co-working spaces, outdoor summer kitchens, bocce ball courts, hammock islands and a dog park with washing station.
Construction is underway, with first units delivered in the fourth quarter of 2028 and stabilization anticipated by September 2030.
Jacksonville continues to be recognized as one of the fastest-growing markets in the nation, ranking as the number two hottest job market in the United States according to The Wall Street Journal in 2024. The Jacksonville Beaches submarket demonstrates particularly strong fundamentals, with current occupancy rates averaging 94 percent. This limited supply pipeline, combined with the area's high-barrier-to-entry coastal location, positions the market for sustained rental demand and appreciation.
JLL Capital Market's Debt Advisory team was led by Senior Managing Director Mark West.
"It is exciting to see the culmination of our work over the past few years, from acquisition to entitlement, design and now start of construction, because we know the positive impact this development will have on the region," said Dave Stahl, Director of Capital Markets and Acquisitions at Trevato. "And while this is a great opportunity for us, Trevato remains committed to our Texas roots, where we are actively pursuing opportunities to bring similar high-quality projects back home to Dallas. We see tremendous potential in both markets and look forward to expanding our portfolio across the Southeast and Texas in the coming years.”
