Crestline Acts as Sole Lender on a Senior Loan for a New Jersey Residential Development

January 14, 2025

Crestline Investors, Inc. announces that its Real Estate and Reinsurance teams have closed a first lien mortgage mid-construction loan secured by The Willow, a multi-family residential development located in Long Branch, New Jersey. Michael Bacchetta of BACC Builders will use the financing to complete the 87-unit complex and lease up the property. The Willow is ideally situated near a prominent beachfront locale featuring a variety of restaurants, boutique shops, fitness centers, and scenic ocean views.

“We are excited to work with BACC Builders to finalize this upscale project. This is a promising opportunity in a prime location, offering residents access to a vibrant waterfront community and an exceptional living experience,” said James Delaune, Managing Director at Crestline Investors.

“We are confident that working with Crestline will ensure successful execution,” said Michael Bacchetta, Founder & CEO of BACC Builders. “Their expertise in multi-family developments and proficiency in creating adaptive solutions align with our goals for The Willow.”

“The Willow is well positioned for success as the Long Branch market continues to benefit from residents favoring lifestyle-driven housing over commute times, and historically low supply in Monmouth County.  We are thrilled to collaborate with Crestline to execute upon this opportunity.”  Said Sean Robertson, Managing Partner of North River Partners. North River collaborated with Crestline in originating the transaction and will service the loan post-closing.
