JLL Arranges Acquisition Financing for Class-AA Office in Dallas’ Uptown District

JLL Capital Markets has arranged acquisition financing for 2801 NCX, a Class-AA office building totaling 240,000 square feet in the West Village subsection of Uptown in Dallas, Texas.

JLL worked on behalf of the borrower, OliveMill Holdings and Hunt Realty Investments in a partnership with Angelo Gordon, to secure the five-year, floating-rate loan with a fund managed by AllianceBernstein.

2801 NCX is located in the Uptown District, which is a vibrant mixed-use neighborhood offering high-end residential developments, top entertainment destinations, fine dining options and luxury hotel accommodations. The population in the immediate area has grown more than 40% since 2010 and is projected to continue as residents and companies migrate to Dallas for low-cost business and living costs. The property benefits from a highly amenitized location surrounded by the city’s most prominent employment centers, leading demographics, and a walkable environment within Uptown’s West Village district. 2801 NCX also has a best-in-market signage opportunity due to its extreme visibility from North Central Expressway.

Completed in 2015, 2801 NCX offers 12 floors of office space that is fully leased to a Dallas-based advertising agency. The property features an on-site fitness center, 11th-floor outdoor space offering views of Uptown and a 609-space parking garage.

The JLL Capital Markets team representing the borrower consisted of Senior Managing Director Jim Curtin, Senior Director Kris Lowe, Vice President Rex Cruz and Analyst Ryan Pollack.

AllianceTexas Surpasses 100B in Economic Impact for North Texas

ALLIANCE TEXAS (WBAP/KLIF)-AllianceTexas, Hillwood’s 27,000-acre master-planned, mixed-use community in north Fort Worth, continues to be one of the state’s most formidable economic engines with approximately $100 billion generated in regional economic impact and over $3.13 billion in total taxes paid to local public entities during the past three decades.

Adolfson & Peterson Break Ground on New Hospital in Arlington

Adolfson & Peterson Construction and Reunion Rehabilitation Hospitals are celebrating the ground-breaking of a new location in Arlington with support from America Development & Investments LLC, a Dallas-based healthcare real estate developer.

Located at 4351 Centreway Place, the hospital will offer inpatient rehabilitation care for people with debilitating illnesses and injuries such as stroke and brain injury, as well as other complex neurological and orthopedic conditions.

Dallas-Fort Worth is one of the nation’s fastest-growing regions, according to recent U.S. Census Bureau estimates. Conversely, there is a lack of modern rehabilitation hospitals in the area. As Texas’ seventh-largest city, Arlington will benefit greatly from the services provided at Reunion Rehabilitation Hospital’s latest DFW location.

At 50,800 square feet, the three-story hospital was designed by Callaway Architecture and consists of standard steel construction with masonry veneer. The hospital features food services and dining areas, fitness and physical therapy spaces, medical staff rooms and expansive dayrooms for patients, and an outdoor courtyard for patients to practice walking on various surfaces and inclines. Moreover, the hospital’s location just off I-20 – approximately four miles west of its intersection with Texas State Highway 360 – provides easy access for patients in both North and South Arlington.

Reunion Rehabilitation Hospital Arlington is expected to open in January 2023 and will provide comprehensive inpatient physical-medicine rehabilitation therapies using results-oriented, individualized plans of care for patients in the Arlington area. The new hospital’s mission is to provide patients with best-in-class care provided by the finest caregivers in a unique, community-centric hospital environment.

The new hospital will also enable DFW residents to build fulfilling careers and join a team of excellent clinicians and support staff, including specialty-trained physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians.

Reunion Rehabilitation Hospital Arlington is one in a series of inpatient rehabilitation facilities that Reunion plans to develop across the country. In addition to the new Arlington hospital, ADI is developing a 55,617-square-foot hospital in Plano, Texas, a 47,000+ square-foot hospital in Englewood, Colorado, a 49,128-square-foot hospital in Peoria, Arizona, and a 51,000-square-foot hospital in Phoenix, Arizona.
