HARRISON, NY—Toll Brothers Inc. reports it has formed a joint venture with J.P. Morgan Asset Management to develop the 421-unit Carraway luxury apartment property here.

The joint venture has secured a $102-million construction loan split evenly among Wells Fargo, National Association, which is serving as administrative agent, and Capital One. The cost for the project that is already under construction is approximately $157 million. The debt and equity financing were arranged by Toll Brothers' in-house finance department.

Toll Brothers Apartment Living will manage the development, marketing, leasing and property management of Carraway.

The Horsham, PA-based development firm broke ground on the project in August 2017 that initially involved the demolition of the 103 Corporate Park Drive and 105 Corporate Park Drive office buildings. The 10.3-acre site is directly adjacent to the Westchester Lifetime Fitness Health Club (built at the site of the former Journal News newspaper) and the future site of grocer Wegmans' Harrison, NY store, which also will be built on the site of a former office building.

“We are excited to be a part of the redevelopment activity occurring in Westchester County,” says Charles Elliott, president, Toll Brothers Apartment Living. “Carraway will raise the caliber of luxury residential offerings in the region and complement the other mixed-use development in the vicinity, creating a new vibrant destination for the area.”

Fred Cooper, Toll Brothers' SVP for finance, international development and investor relations, adds, “We are pleased with the strong team of debt and equity providers that have come together to develop Carraway. This is our first joint venture with JP Morgan Asset Management and represents another dimension to our multi-faceted relationship with JP Morgan. Wells Fargo and Capital One are banks with whom we have had long relationships financing urban and suburban rental and student housing projects, as well as high-rise for-sale condo projects and our corporate credit facilities.”

Carraway is slated to have ground floor retail and an in-building parking garage. Among the planned amenities include a club room, fitness center, kid's playroom, pet spa, bike lounge, craft room, co-working lounge and pool. Leasing and first move-ins are projected for late 2019.

The project involves the first conversion of an office building to residential use in the Town of Harrison and along the I-287 commercial corridor.
