HFF arranges debt and equity totaling $46.5 million for Encinitas, California mixed-use development

The San Diego office of HFF (Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P.) announced today that it arranged a construction loan and joint venture equity for the development of Pacific Station, a Whole-Foods anchored mixed-use project in the northern San Diego city of Encinitas, California.

Working exclusively on behalf of Pacific Station Property, LLC, a venture by John DeWald & Associates and Phase 3 Properties, HFF senior managing director Tim Wright and associate directors Rob Hinckley and Zach Koucos placed the $36.5 million, 60-month construction permanent loan with La Jolla Bank. HFF also secured $10 million in joint venture equity with Fidelity Real Estate Group.

Upon completion in fourth quarter 2009, Pacific Station will have 38,500 square feet of retail including Whole Foods and a signature restaurant, 10,000 square feet of office space, 47 residential units and a two-level underground parking garage. All components of the project will be condo-mapped and can be sold off by the suite. Residential units will range from 702 square feet to more than 2,000 square feet in one- to three-bedroom layouts. Whole Foods will anchor the retail space with approximately 25,000 square feet. Pacific Station is situated on 1.39 acres between E and F Streets along the Coast Highway 101, three blocks from the Pacific Ocean and one block from the Metropolitan Transit Station’s Encinitas “Coaster” Station.

“Pacific Station is designed to fully integrate into the downtown Encinitas streetscape, while meeting the demand for retailers, professionals and residents,” said Wright.
