(OAK BROOK, IL) – Hines, the international real estate firm, along with Levy Family Partners, Duchossois Capital Management and Las Americas, announced the execution of construction financing with New York Life Real Estate Investors on One Oak Brook Commons, the first-ever rental apartment development in the Village of Oak Brook.
One Oak Brook Commons will be a 17-story, Class-A high-rise building with 250 luxury apartment homes and 420 parking stalls within a secured private parking deck. The community is located at the epicenter of the 16.5-acre Oak Brook Commons mixed-use master plan being developed by Hines, and the community will sit directly adjacent to a new public park named The Pitch.
The residences will average a gracious 1,055-square-feet and will offer upscale finishes and fixtures that will set a new standard for quality in suburban Chicago. The project will also offer an elevated resort-style amenity deck, featuring a heated pool, cabanas, outdoor kitchens and public lawn, as well as a high-end private fitness center, club room, library, expansive dog run, modern package facilities and significant bicycle storage.
“It is an honor to continue our work in the Village of Oak Brook and to add to the vibrancy of its commercial core. Hines is also delighted to expand our valued relationship with New York Life,” said David Bach, managing director at Hines. “One Oak Brook Commons will offer residences and amenities of a quality unrivaled in the market, at a location with truly unique walkability to countless dining and shopping options.”
“We are excited to build upon our relationship with Hines and are pleased to provide single source, large project construction financing on this well-located, highly amenitized Class A multifamily property,” said Daniel Hayes, a Chicago-based director responsible for Central US structured debt originations at New York Life Real Estate Investors.
“This transaction evidences REI’s continuing ability to provide a stable source of construction financing to institutional borrowers and a pipeline of attractive investment opportunities for the capital that we represent,” added John Lippmann, Head of Structured Debt at NYL Real Estate Investors.
