JLL Capital Markets said Jan. 11 that it has arranged $88 million in acquisition financing for the recently purchased Avalon Somerset apartments in Somerset.

JLL worked on behalf of the borrower, a joint venture between Harbor Group International and Azure Partners, to secure the 10-year, floating-rate loan through Freddie Mac. The loan will be serviced by JLL Real Estate Capital, LLC, a Freddie Mac Optigo℠ lender. JLL also completed the sale of the property to Harbor Group International and Azure Partners.

The luxury community is comprised of 384 studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and townhomes. Built in 2013, the community totals 12 three-story buildings, one four-story building and a one-and-a-half-story clubhouse.
