Shopoff Realty Investments Advances Major 270-Acre Development in Mesa, Arizona

In a significant milestone for its ambitious real estate endeavors, Shopoff Realty Investments has announced the successful acquisition of $52 million in refinancing for its expansive 270-acre project located in Mesa, Arizona. This pivotal financing comes from Peachtree Group and is set to propel the project into its next stage of development, heralding a new chapter for both the firm and the local area.

Project Overview

Since its acquisition in 2022, Shopoff has made remarkable headway in planning and approvals linked to the Mesa project, dubbed "The Block at Elliot." The financing is aimed at funding essential activities including grading and offsite improvements related to streets and utilities, which are crucial for laying the groundwork for a robust developmental framework. Commenting on this progress, William A. Shopoff, the company’s President and CEO, expressed optimism about the financing's significance in navigating the current economic landscape marked by uncertainties. "We are pleased to have secured financing for the project, especially considering the current financial climate and market uncertainty," he stated.

Moving Forward

The strategy for The Block at Elliot includes plans for zoning annexation and a mass grading plan that received approval from the city of Mesa. As Shopoff works closely with city authorities, the firm is also finalizing the project's development plan and product mix. Engaging a general contractor in their planning phase, they anticipate that grading activities could commence by late 2025. Mark Strauss and Rob Quarton from Walker Dunlop have played an instrumental role in facilitating this financing, highlighting the complexity involved in structuring the capital stack. Strauss remarked, "We are proud to have facilitated the loan to an efficient and successful closing, and we are excited to see the continued progress of The Block at Elliot as it moves into its next phase of development."
