SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 17, 2024 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged the acquisition financing of the 253-unit Summerwood Mobile Home Park in Lafayette, Louisiana.
JLL worked on behalf of the borrower, Prime Oak Capital, to secure the loan through RRA Capital. Since its inception in 2017, Prime Oak Capital has specialized in the investment of mobile/manufactured communities and currently owns and manages over 11 properties in four different states.
Built in 1970, Summerwood Mobile Home Park boasts 85% occupancy with all but one home being tenant-owned. The owner also plans for a renovation that will infill the existing 36 vacant pads over the next year.
Situated at 3201 Kaliste Saloom Rd., Summerwood is located approximately seven miles from downtown Lafayette. The community benefits from its strong proximity to both New Orleans and Baton Rouge economies as Lafayette is expected to see strong population growth of 1.86% in the next five years, outpacing the U.S. average of 0.5%.
The JLL Capital Markets Debt Advisory team was led by Director Jonah Aelyon, Vice President Sarah Murphy and Analyst Cole Bernabei.
“JLL is excited to have assisted Prime Oak Capital in their first Louisiana acquisition as they expand their footprint to the Southeast,” said Aelyon. “RRA was highly communicative and a great lending partner for a first-time client to both platforms.”
“Summerwood represents Prime Oak Capital’s first investment in the Southeast, which is a market we are looking to expand in. Jonah and his team were very attentive and instrumental in closing our loan on time. RRA, our lender, cooperated with every hurdle presented to them and were fantastic to work with. We look forward to doing many future deals together!” said Harsheel Shah, Managing Partner with Prime Oak Capital.
