HFF Arranges $141.6 Million for Development of Phase I of Flight at Tustin Legacy in Southern California

Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced today that it has arranged $141.6 million in financing for the construction of Phase I of FLIGHT at Tustin Legacy, a premier 470,000-square-foot creative office campus located in Tustin, California.

HFF worked on behalf of the developer, a partnership between Lincoln Property Company and Alcion Ventures, to place the three-year construction loan with ACORE Capital, a leading commercial real estate finance company, and iStar, Inc. Construction is expected to be completed in early 2019.

As the first office development within the 1,600-acre site of the former Marin Corps Air Station Tustin, FLIGHT will cement the Tustin Legacy master-planned development as a true "live, work, play" community. Designed with unique, hangar-inspired architecture, FLIGHT will provide an inspiring, one-of-a-kind working and dining experience. Noteworthy amenities of the campus will include a 12,000-square-foot food hall, which will feature an array of unique, chef-driven dining concepts, and a 7,000 square-foot conference center, which will serve an untapped need for collaborative space that can be utilized by tenants or third parties. Both were designed to serve as a draw to tenants who increasingly desire a broad base of walkable, convenient community amenities.

There has been little large-scale development of authentic creative office space in Orange County to-date, significantly lagging the trend in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Popularized by tech companies in the Bay Area, creative office designs are now desired by many different types of businesses. FLIGHT will be the first purpose-built creative office campuses of its kind in the entire county, and Tustin Legacy with its parks, bike paths and outdoor amenities offers a perfect location for a development like the project with its open floor plans, high ceilings and collaborative work spaces. Due to shifting company demands for creative space and the relative scarcity of alternatives to fit such demand in the market, Lincoln Property Company believes the project will attract a diverse, high quality tenant roster. In the future, Phase II of FLIGHT will be able to accommodate an additional 550,000 rentable square feet of creative office space.

The HFF debt placement team representing the borrower was led by managing director Mark Wintner and senior managing director Doug Bond.
