Stoneweg U.S. LLC (Stoneweg US), a real estate investment firm specializing in multifamily acquisitions and developments, today announced the successful closing of a $50MM construction loan for its Lake Maggiore Apartments development project, the Company’s first ground-up development in its St. Petersburg, FL based headquarters.

First Horizon Bank, a long-standing financial partner of Stoneweg US, who also financed the construction of Tuscan Reserve Apartments, the Company’s inaugural development in Palm Coast, FL, will serve as the lender on this milestone project; PGIM Real Estate, the $206.8 billion real estate investment and financing business of global asset manager PGIM, will serve as the equity partner on the transaction through a preferred equity investment made on behalf of its high-yield strategy.

“We are pleased to partner with First Horizon once again and announce our first partnership with PGIM Real Estate on such a marquee transaction like Lake Maggiore Apartments,” said Patrick Richard, CEO for Stoneweg US. “Given the mutual respect and commitment to excellence we commonly share, we’re looking forward to advancing the construction of Lake Maggiore Apartments and delivering a high-quality and sustainable development to the south side of St. Petersburg.”

This project directly aligns with our organization’s goal to invest in our communities and encourage growth.” - Jim Donatelli, Greater Tampa Bay Market President, First Horizon Bank.

“Stoneweg US brings development expertise and community relationships to this exciting project, which we are thrilled to be a part of, “ said Daniel Kattan, Executive Director at PGIM Real Estate who led the transaction on the firm’s behalf. ”Lake Maggiore Apartments benefits from its proximity to Downtown St. Petersburg, a walkable urban destination that includes a diversified employment base and retail amenities, and will provide necessary additional housing to South St. Petersburg.”
