Refinancing secured for Montrose Collective in Houston
JLL Capital Markets led the refinancing efforts for the mixed-use complex in the heart of the Montrose neighborhood
HOUSTON, Mar. 14, 2024 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged the refinancing of Montrose Collective, a premier mixed-use development in Houston’s Montrose neighborhood.
JLL worked on behalf of the borrower, Radom Capital and institutional investors advised by J.P. Morgan Global Alternatives, to secure the loan through Prime Finance. The loan is refinancing the original construction loan JLL secured in 2020 for the development.
Montrose Collective officially opened in 2022, with the debut of Marmo, one of the most acclaimed restaurants in Houston, and over 20 new-to-market retail and office tenants. The 98%-leased district is also home to Uchi, Live Nation and Reformation. The low-rise collection of one- to six-story architecturally significant buildings feature sustainable finishes and a design that blurs the boundaries between the public and private realm. The project features a network of open-air courtyards and an outdoor “garden room” at the heart of the project. Each of the offices on the upper floors feature open patios, supporting the new office environment tenants seek today.
Situated at the corner of Westheimer Rd. and Montrose Blvd. in the center of Houston’s culturally rich Montrose neighborhood, the property is positioned centrally between Downtown, the Texas Medical Center, Rice University and River Oaks. This area has emerged into one of the trendiest and in-demand neighborhoods in Houston with dozens of award-winning restaurants, nationally recognized museums and three of the city’s top Universities within a three-mile radius.
Montrose Collective won the 2023 Houston Business Journal Landmark Award in the Mixed-Use category, the 2023 CoStar Impact Award for Houston Commercial Development of the Year, and received the 2023 Urban Land Institute Houston Development of Distinction Award, among several other accolades.
The JLL Capital Markets Debt Advisory team representing the borrower was led by Senior Managing Director Colby Mueck, Managing Director Michael Johnson and Director Jack Britton.
