HFF secures $341m in construction financing and JV equity for waterfront condominium tower in Boston

by Jody Barhanovich

Holliday Fenoglio Fowler has arranged $341 million in construction financing and joint venture equity for the development of The St. Regis Residences, Boston, an iconic, luxury waterfront condominium tower located on one of the last remaining developable waterfront parcels in downtown Boston.

HFF worked with an exclusive adviser to the developer, Cronin Development, to secure $306.5 million in construction financing from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.  Additionally, HFF advised Cronin Development in structuring a joint venture equity partnership for $34.5 million with a private equity partner, the JCM Opportunity Fund I, a subsidiary holding of Joyal Capital Management led by Gary F. Joyal, CEO and managing partner.

With 114 units spread over 22 stories, The St. Regis Residences, Boston features a twisting and angular contemporary design evoking billowing sails in a nod to its nautical location.  Every single residence in this architecturally significant building offers sweeping views of Boston or Boston Harbor as well as extensive access to outdoor space. The Residences will also include underground parking, a two-story signature restaurant, five-star amenities and customized services for owners.

The HFF debt and equity advisory team representing the borrower included senior managing director Riaz Cassum, senior director Brett Paulsrud and associate Andrew Gray.

“This has been a very exciting project to be a part of,” said Paulsrud.  “With its unique design and location, The St. Regis Residences, Boston will be unlike any residential development ever built in the city, serving as an iconic landmark on the Boston skyline.”
