ANAHEIM, CA – JPI, a leader in the development of Class A multifamily housing, announced the close of construction financing for Jefferson Stadium Park’s Phase I, consisting of 371 luxury apartment homes and a 1.1-acre public park.  The community is located on a 17.6-acre prime real estate site located in the prestigious Platinum Triangle in Anaheim, California – directly adjacent to Angel Stadium of Anaheim.

Jefferson Stadium Park, a three-phase development, will ultimately result in the construction of 1,079 luxury apartment homes including 12 live-work units, the 1.1-acre park, and 14,600 square feet of community-oriented retail space.

“Clearly, JPI is committed to investing in the vision of Anaheim’s Platinum Triangle.  We currently have four projects in various stages of development within the Platinum Triangle, with a total anticipated value upon completion of over $675 million,” said Todd Bowden, JPI’s Western Region Senior Vice President and Managing Development Partner. “Platinum Triangle is a model for development efforts that encourage new projects and enhance quality living experiences for the community. Stadium Park only strengthens that commitment.”

The Jefferson Stadium Park constructing financing is provided by East West Bancorp, a publicly owned company with assets over $34 billion. East West Bank is a premier bank focused exclusively on the United States and Greater China markets, and operates over 130 locations worldwide.

“We’re proud to provide financial support for Jefferson Stadium Park,” said Deborah Beveridge, Senior Vice President and Commercial Lending Officer of East West Bank. “At East West Bank, we believe that vibrant communities are the cornerstones of economic growth for the nation. This relationship exemplifies our continued commitment to support community development.”

Also, participating in the lending of the project is Preferred Bank. Jim Belanic, its Senior Vice President/Group Manager, said: “Preferred Bank’s Orange County Real Estate Industries Group is excited about participating with East West Bank to finance JPI’s newest apartment project.”

In June 2016, JPI received unanimous approval for the project from Anaheim’s Mayor and City Council, and in September 2016, it was announced that JPI had partnered with Grand China Fund, a Beijing-based private equity real estate fund, in a $255 million Joint Venture to develop Phases I and II of Jefferson Stadium Park. Laurie Mathers, the U.S. based Head of Acquisitions for Grand China Fund, said at the time: “Our fund seeks to partner with leading real estate developers in gateway cities across the U.S.  Jefferson Stadium Park is a model for this type of development, and represents Grand China Fund’s commitment to identifying quality investments for our partners.”

Gus Villalba, Managing Regional Partner of JPI’s Western Division, said: “The closing of our construction financing for this project with East West Bank, coupled with the investments from our Chinese partners, solidifies that Jefferson Stadium Park will come to life as a model project for our portfolio, and for future investments in other projects by Chinese investors.”

Residents of Jefferson Stadium Park will have access to Anaheim’s Regional Transportation Intermodal Center (ARTIC), as well as year-round entertainment, including Major League Baseball’s Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, and the National Hockey League’s Anaheim Ducks. Additionally, the project is located one mile from the Downtown Disney Shopping District; Disneyland, and California Adventure theme parks. It is also located within ten miles of Anaheim’s top five employers: Disneyland Resort, Kaiser Foundation Hospital, Hilton Anaheim, Cash Call Inc., Mortgage Division, and Anaheim Memorial Medical Center.

“Jefferson Stadium Park represents the ideals that we originally envisioned for Anaheim’s Platinum Triangle,” said Anaheim Mayor Tom Tait. “This area will be transformed with the dynamic new community this project will make.”

LINTHICUM, MD – Developed by public private partnership that includes Landex Development and Prince George’s County, Artist Row, located at 3807 and 4100 Rhode Island Avenue in the Gateway Arts District, is the intersection of modern urban living and the arts.

The LEED gold designed community is being constructed in two phases. The first phase, Studio 3807, is currently under construction and scheduled to open early summer 2018. Studio 3807 includes 147 apartments, 6322 square feet of retail space and 3000 square feet of artist studio space. The second phase, Artisan at 4100, will open in late 2018 and will consist of 84 apartments and 5000 square feet of retail.

Artist Row will be an active member of the Gateway Arts District. Local artists are being engaged to make art installations which will be on show in a plotted gallery space in Studio 3807. Local artists will operate the art studios which will be used by local artists and hold public artist talks at Artist Row. The retail space will be occupied by neighborhood serving businesses which will further complement the concept of an inclusive neighborhood that encourages diversity.

“Artist Row will be an inclusive community space where people can gather to share thoughts about the world and art,” said Landex CEO, Peter Siegel. “We are very excited to be a part of the Gateway Arts District and Prince George’s County. Our vision is to have Artist Row provide a central gathering place that promotes positive communication and allows growth for not only the arts but local businesses.”

The Gateway Arts District spans two miles along Route 1 Baltimore/Rhodes Island Avenue and incorporates four towns; Mount Rainier, Brentwood, North Brentwood and Hyattsville. The Gateway Arts District was established by the Prince Georges County government in 2001 as an Arts and Entertainment District to use the arts to promote economic development.

The Gateway Arts District is a focal point for art activities of all types, as well as for socializing, entertaining, dining, shopping, and living. It offers the richness and diversity of the metropolitan region, but retains at its core the heart of the four small towns: Mount Rainier, Brentwood, North Brentwood, and Hyattsville. Spanning two miles along Route 1 Baltimore/Rhode Island Avenue, with quick access to the MARC, two Green Line stations, and several bus lines to Mount Rainier, the Gateway Arts District is the perfect home for artists, art-lovers, families, commuting professionals, and students.

The rich artistic diversity of the area results in a variety of restaurants, coffee houses, local and regional theatres, galleries and entertainment, as well as arts-related businesses such as arts and crafts stores, designers, and art supply stores that support and extend the influence and economic vitality of the artists’ community.
