OREANDA-NEWS. Prudential Huntoon Paige provided a USD25.7 million construction loan insured by the Federal Housing Administration for Residences at Fairbourne, a 225-unit, transit-oriented multifamily project in West Valley City, Utah, near Salt Lake City, the company announced today. Prudential Huntoon Paige is the FHA-insured lending business of Prudential Mortgage Capital Company, the commercial mortgage lending business of Prudential Financial, Inc. (NYSE:PRU).

The 40-year, fixed-rate loan will enable Salt Lake City-based ICO Development to build the four-story, Class-A apartment community located on W. Lehman Avenue, near the terminus of the West Valley TRAX line and an intermodal hub. The complex will include a 260-stall parking garage as well as numerous amenities including a clubhouse, business center, fitness room, sports lounge and social areas.

 "This is a transit-oriented development with numerous high end amenities that will enable residents to enjoy a maintenance-free, resort-like lifestyle. The development will provide value to the growing community of West Valley City by allowing better access to jobs, housing, and recreational and educational opportunities for residents," said Ernie Willmore, development director with ICO Development, part of the Ivory Commercial family of companies.

 “The partnership with an experienced borrower such as ICO Development, combined with the transit-oriented focus of this property, made this an attractive transaction for us,” said Ann Cone, a director with Prudential Huntoon Paige’s Atlanta office, who led the transaction.

 Residences at Fairbourne is situated near several other construction projects also underway in the neighborhood including a new four-star, 162-room hotel, 200,000 square-feet of new office space and redevelopment of 200,000 square-feet of existing retail space. The complex was included as part of a master plan that also called for development of a six acre city park adjacent to the property.
