“We are pleased to continue our partnership with The Dinerstein Companies for the refinancing of this high-quality multifamily asset located in a strong market with growing demographics and healthy underlying demand-supply metrics,” said Jack Cheng, Managing Director with Barings. “This investment is highly aligned with Barings’ core+ real estate strategy, which focuses on providing financing for high quality real estate in dynamic markets, backed by experienced sponsorship.”

The Townsend was developed by The Dinerstein Companies in 2022 and is comprised of 277 apartment homes featuring refined interior finish packages and high-end on-site amenities including a two-story fitness center, resort-style pool deck with spa, a resident clubhouse and game room. Situated in the heart of Mission Valley, The Townsend is proximate to a large employer base as well as numerous retail and restaurant options.

JLL advised the sponsorship on the financing.
