The 17355 Old Statesville Road project site is located near the Northcross Shopping Center, which is home to Harris Teeter, HomeGoods, Lowe’s Home Improvement, Petco, Staples and many other retailers.

“It is exciting to continue our Carolinas activity with this Huntersville transaction,” Forman says. “This is a suburban submarket with a strong appetite for Class A apartment product. We continue to target similar opportunities in the region.”

In February, a developer borrowed $35 million from Trez Forman to develop a mixed-use project in Wilmington. In May, Trez Forman closed on a $17.24-million loan for the acquisition of a 138-acre residential development site in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill metro area. Around the same time, the lender completed a $2.5-million acquisition loan for a 195-acre residential development site in Surf City, NC.
