CHICAGO, Nov. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- JLL Income Property Trust, an institutionally managed daily NAV REIT (NASDAQ: ZIPTAX; ZIPTMX; ZIPIAX; ZIPIMX) with more than $3 billion in assets under management, announced the completion of financing for a recently-developed 273-unit apartment community in the prominent Phoenix suburb of Chandler, Arizona.

The property is held in a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) through JLL Exchange, JLL Income Property Trust's 1031 "like-kind" exchange platform that offers investors the opportunity to defer taxable gains from the sale of appreciated real estate by investing in interests of a DST, allowing their investment in real estate to continue to generate wealth in a tax efficient manner.

The financing of the Chandler, Arizona apartment community is another example of how real estate debt capital markets have remained vibrant and robust, even in light of the global health crisis triggered by COVID-19. The completed financing was for $36 million, or approximately 50% loan-to-value, at an interest rate of 3.28% which is fixed for a term of 10-years.

"Real estate debt is still available on favorable terms for institutional borrowers and core stabilized assets," said Allan Swaringen, President and CEO of JLL Income Property Trust. "Quite different than during the Global Financial Crisis time period of 2007 to 2009," Swaringen noted, "real estate debt and equity markets have remained liquid during this pandemic-initiated recession – and we are seeing asset pricing and values hold, and debt spreads compress, making it an opportune time to lock in attractive long-term fixed interest rates."

"We have been pleased that during this extraordinary environment, JLL Income Property Trust has continued to deliver on its investment objective to be a durable source of income for investors, recently passing our eight-year anniversary and declaring our thirty-sixth consecutive quarterly dividend", commented Swaringen. "Further, JLL Exchange, our companion solution that offers investors 'like-kind' exchange opportunities, is seeing unprecedented demand."

"Demand for this product remains robust as high net worth and ultra-high net worth clients continue to recognize the value of investing in institutional quality tax deferred solutions sponsored by managers with strong track records," said Drew Dornbusch, Head of the JLL Exchange 1031 Exchange Platform.

Through its operating partnership and affiliates, JLL Income Property Trust offers investors beneficial interests in a Delaware Statutory Trust as a "like-kind" exchange. Through JLL Exchange, investors may defer taxable gains from the sale of appreciated real estate by investing their proceeds in DST interests offered by JLL Income Property Trust.
