ICHMOND, VA — Northmarq’s Rich- mond debt/equity R Wells, Lowry, Abboud & Wood collaborate to arrange refinance Northmarq’s Richmond office secures $65M in financing
“We pride ourselves on find - ing the right equity partners for developers and identified a capital source that had the same vision and goals for this project,” said Franklin. “Montage at Marquis Apart - ments marks GW Real Es- tate Partners’ first ground-up multifamily development in the Williamsburg/Hampton Roads/Newport News MSA,” said Robert Gordon, a GWREP principal. “This submarket in particular benefits from a diversified and growing population and economy, with limited new supply and high barriers to entry, which places it squarely within our wheel - house. Thanks to the Berka - dia team, we have a capital partner whose vision aligns with ours. We’re also grateful to long-term design partners, Heffner Architects P.C. and civil engineering firm Tim - mons Group, for their role in this project.” Located at 1200 Marquis Parkway, Montage at Marquis Apartments will be a class A, four-story, elevatored and conditioned-corridor property offering best-in-class commu - nity amenities and surface parking. It will feature one-, two- and three-bedroom units averaging 942 square feet. The property is located less than 10 minutes from downtown Williamsburg and the Col - lege of William and Mary, 20 minutes from Newport News, and proximate to a variety of employers including nearby military bases. GW Builders , a wholly- owned subsidiary of GW Real Estate Partners, is the general contractor. MAREJ
