Arixa Capital Secures $74.8 Million Loan for Flagstaff Townhome Development
Arixa Capital, a notable player in real estate financing, has announced the successful closure of a substantial $74.8 million construction loan aimed at developing Pine Haven, a new townhome community in Flagstaff, Arizona. This community will consist of 83 townhomes, designed to address the ongoing demand for quality residential spaces in the picturesque city of Flagstaff.
The Pine Haven development uniquely merges natural beauty with modern living. Nestled among Flagstaff's renowned ponderosa pine forests, it promises to offer residents not just homes, but a lifestyle enriched by proximity to outdoor recreational activities, shopping, dining, and significant employment opportunities. "Pine Haven is designed with a thoughtful approach to community living, providing timely for-sale housing to our burgeoning Flagstaff market," stated Carlie Yapp, Senior Vice President of Strategic Accounts at Arixa Capital. This initiative reflects Arixa's commitment to fostering community growth and responding to the housing market's needs.
Collaborating with Red Oak Development Group, a firm with extensive experience in real estate development and community planning, Arixa aims to ensure the project achieves its vision effectively. The team leading the project includes notable industry experts such as Tom Staub and Luke Caraway from Red Oak Development, along with David Teo. Together, they bring a wealth of experience that encompasses various sectors spanning real estate development, investment management, and capital markets.
Tom Staub, CEO of Red Oak Development Group, emphasized the community's alignment with the area's natural characteristics and the urgent need for housing solutions. He expressed confidence in Arixa's understanding of the project’s complexities and their ability to deliver a bespoke financing solution that accommodates a phased implementation.
Pine Haven is strategically located at 2951 South Masonic Lane and comprises 12 residential buildings along with essential amenity structures. This includes a clubhouse and an observation tower, with the entire project covering approximately 185,940 square feet. Upon completion, the townhomes will feature three distinct floor plan options, each offering three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a two-car garage. An emphasis on private indoor and outdoor living spaces has been integral to the design, ensuring that residents can fully embrace the natural setting surrounding the community.
Flagstaff's housing market remains noteworthy due to its solid fundamentals, as well as limited supply, making it an attractive place for homebuyers. David Teo remarked on the pride the team feels in partnering with Arixa, noting the project’s potential to fulfill a critical housing demand while creating enduring value for the community and investment partners alike.
The financing was facilitated through Arixa's Pro Builder program, which is tailored for residential and mixed-use developments of 20 or more units that necessitate complex capital structures. This program supports the phased development approach, simplifying the approval process from acquisition through construction up to sales or refinancing stages. To date, Arixa Capital has financed over $2 billion in significant residential and mixed-use projects, solidifying its role as a key player in real estate development.
Arixa Capital, founded in 2006, has established itself as a leading private real estate lender and alternative investment management firm, boasting over $8 billion in completed originations since its inception. Their commitment to reliability, transparency, and quality service has forged enduring relationships with borrowers and investors alike, underpinning their sustained growth and success in the field.
On the other hand, Red Oak Development Group, based in Texas, is dedicated to creating holistic communities that prioritize people’s needs. The firm’s founding team, armed with decades of relevant experience, aims to revolutionize community development by valuing long-term impacts over mere profitability. They believe in cultivating environments that foster connection and belonging, setting a new standard for real estate development.
