NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GTIS Debt Capital Management, a joint venture between GTIS Partners and GoldenTree Asset Management, and The Union Labor Life Insurance Company (ULLICO), today announced the closing of a $160 million loan to fund development of the first fully-amenitized high-end condo building in Boston’s exclusive Beacon Hill district.

The property, known as The Archer Residences Beacon Hill, is situated a block away from Boston Common adjacent to the Massachusetts State House. The former Suffolk University Law School buildings will eventually house approximately 70 bespoke luxury homes complete with on-site parking, concierge / doorman, gym, kids room, common roof-deck and a host of other amenities.

“We’re delighted to have been able to put our debt capital facilities to work to fund construction for what will become one of Boston’s premier residential properties,” said David Blum, Managing Director and Portfolio Manager of GTIS Debt Capital Management. “This is an exciting project and its successful completion will be the direct result of the outstanding developer, general contractor and lender team that joined with GTIS Debt Capital Management to make this development a reality.”

The Archer Residences Beacon Hill is being developed by an affiliate of Center Court Mass, LLC, (CCM), in conjunction with Consigli Construction Co., Inc., the general contractor. Advisors Living, LLC is spearheading the sales and marketing efforts for the redevelopment.

Noted Herb Kolben, Senior Vice President of Union Labor Life's Real Estate Investment Group, “We were attracted to this investment principally because The Archer Residences Beacon Hill is destined to become a much sought-after development in one of Boston’s most elite areas. There’s nothing else comparable to it in the neighborhood.”

Condo units are anticipated to be available for sale by the end of February 2018, with occupancy by the end of 2019.
