CHICAGO, May 30, 2024 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged financing for K14 Campus Flats, a student housing property across the street from the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon.

Working on behalf of the borrower, Waterway Family Funds, JLL placed the 10-year acquisition financing with Freddie Mac. The loan will be serviced by JLL Real Estate Capital, LLC, a Freddie Mac Optigo℠ lender.

K14 Campus Flats is located at 1414 Kincaid St. just a five-minute walk to the student recreation center and campus core as well as a two-minute walk to East 13th Ave., the main retail hub for bars and nightlife serving students in the area.

University of Oregon is a premier Power 5 school currently in the PAC-12 and has an enrollment of over 23,000 students. During the 2022 – 2023 academic year, the University of Oregon experienced its largest freshman class enrolment, 31% higher than their average freshman class size over the past 10 years.

Completed in 2015, the Class A student housing community offers 45 units that are fully leased in two-, three- or four-bedroom layouts. K14 Campus Flats also offers a full amenity suite, which includes on-site bicycle storage, community courtyard, grilling station and tenant lounge.

The JLL Capital Markets Debt Advisory team representing the borrower was led by Senior Directors Patricia Heminger, Dan Kearns and Stephen VanLeer, Associate Rebecca Brielmaier, Senior Analyst Sam Tarter and Analyst Merrick Evans.

“JLL is thankful to have had the opportunity to help establish a great new relationship between Freddie Mac and Waterway Family Funds,” commented Dan Kearns. “As Waterway scales its multi-housing and student housing portfolio, this relationship will be incredibly valuable.”
