Canyon Partners and J.P. Morgan Jointly Fund Riverside's New Townhome Community

Canyon Partners Real Estate LLC has recently announced an impressive collaboration with J.P. Morgan, securing a substantial $74.7 million senior construction loan. This financing is designated for a new upscale rental townhome development located in Riverside, California. The project, spearheaded by BCT Development—a strategic alliance between Bain Capital Real Estate and Cherry Tree Development—aims to deliver a premier living space that caters to the evolving demands of tenants in today’s housing market.

Project Overview

The proposed development will encompass 180 rental townhomes arranged in three-story walk-up buildings. This community will consist of a variety of unit types including configurations with two, three, and four bedrooms. Designed to stand out from traditional multifamily housing, this complex will feature larger units with private entrances and direct-access garages, creating a more intimate and appealing living environment.

Among the amenities planned for residents are a pool, a fitness center, and a clubhouse, aiming to enhance the overall community experience. Conveniently situated in the Mission Grove neighborhood of Riverside, the project boasts nearby retail options, educational institutions, and key transport routes, making it an attractive choice for potential tenants.

Market Context

This development arrives at a time of continued population growth in the Inland Empire and a robust employment base, which makes Riverside an ideal location for this type of investment. Canyon Partners previously supported a similar project in Riverside earlier this year, providing a $91.3 million loan for a 232-unit rental townhome community.

Chris Marsh, the Founder and CEO of Cherry Tree Development, expressed confidence in the project’s potential, stating, "This development aligns with our strategy of developing high-quality rental housing that responds to the evolving preferences of residents in markets with persistent housing shortages. We believe the community’s differentiated features will offer residents an attractive alternative to traditional multifamily housing."
