SEATTLE, WASHINGTON (May 1, 2020) – Jake Leibsohn, Vice President and Ron Peterson Senior Vice President of NorthMarq’s Seattle-based regional office arranged $45,000,000 in JV equity for the development of 12th & Yesler on behalf of co-sponsors, Trent Development and Hatteras Sky. The to-be-built 274-unit multifamily property is located at the corner of 12th Ave South and East Yesler Way, in Seattle, Washington. 

“It was important that whoever participated as a JV partner had a strong track record of funding opportunity zone developments and had ample experience in multifamily construction and ownership.
