Newmark Cornish & Carey is pleased to announce that its San Francisco NGKF Capital Markets team has arranged joint-venture equity for the development of 2240 Market Street, a luxury residential project located in San Francisco’s Duboce Triangle. NGKF Capital Markets represented the developer, San Francisco-based Prado Group, which entered into partnership on the project with San Francisco and New York-based Vanke Holdings USA LLC, the US affiliate of China Vanke, an international real-estate industry leader and member of the Fortune Global 500.
Construction will begin at 2240 Market Street in 2017 and is anticipated to be completed mid-2019. The five-story project is entitled for 45 units and 5,200 square feet of prominent retail space along Market Street with below-grade parking. Once completed, the project will consist of a collection of studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, three-bedroom, and townhome residences in close proximity to San Francisco’s best restaurants and amenities in Duboce Triangle, Castro, Mission, and Hayes Valley. The project will provide residents with expansive floor plans averaging over 1,000 square feet, modern interior finishes, unparalleled access to public transit, and energizing street-level retail, including the Whole Foods Market at 2001 Market, also developed by Prado Group.
The joint venture partnership was arranged by the NGKF Capital Markets team based out of Newmark Cornish & Carey’s San Francisco office, led by Executive Managing Directors Mike Taquino, Kyle Kovac, and Daniel Cressman.
“We are pleased to be delivering much-needed infill housing units to this highly desirable transit-oriented neighborhood,” said Will Hu, the director of acquisitions for Prado Group. “We look forward to developing this project in partnership with Vanke USA’s San Francisco-based team.”
“San Francisco is among the nation’s most exciting cities and dynamic real-estate markets, and one that we see as primed for significant growth,” said Kai-yan Lee, managing director of Vanke Holdings, USA. “San Francisco is one of our key US markets and 2240 Market is a prime site in an established neighborhood. This type of mixed use infill project represents one of our target investment types in San Francisco.”
