NorthMarq Closes Construction Financing in Cincinnati

When at first you don’t succeed, try again. That was one borrower’s motto when a financing placement attempt fell through with one lender, so they decided to go to Noah Juran of NorthMarq to get the deal done.

The debt, which features a three-year, interest-only term, comes in at 64% loan-to-cost. That puts the development cost at $28.4 million, or $346,300 per unit.
