6 PW Avalon Bay (edit) (deal info) 2/2/16 - Good call with Matt Birenbaum the CIO. They have not done many joint-ventures, but what they do sometimes consider are forward purchase agreements which can enable a developer to often secure 100% financing. Attempting to arrange a meeting next week.
7 DF BayNorth Capital (edit) (deal info) 01/25/16 - Passed - They prefer equity checks less than $20 million, and ideally projects less than 300 units. They were not able to get comfortable with the number of units.

12 - Federal Capital Partners (edit) (deal info) 12/2/15 - Passed - They could not get comfortable with the large number of units, and they are also not a strong believer in the market down in Woodbridge.
13 DF Guardian Life Insurance Company of America, The (edit) (deal info) 1/25/16 - Passed - He mentioned that they are getting quite nervous with where we are in the cycle, and with all of the multifamily product coming online in DC, he said it would be difficult for them to get comfortable with sufficient demand in Woodbridge. He had looked at a different development recently in Woodbridge, and as such had gone down and did a tour of the market. They have a prime in-fill location in the DC market that is in lease-up, and they are seeing some softness in the market versus where they thought they would be. As such, if they are seeing that in a more downtown/urban location, he thought it would be felt more pronounced in a more suburban location.

17 DF JBG Companies (edit) (deal info) 2/1/16 - Passed - They are comfortable with a land basis of less than $20,000 per unit, and their mandate is really to invest in more urban infill locations within the beltway. While they acquired the Stonebridge Town Center, they do not really love Woodbridge, and that one was a stabilized asset when they acquired it, not a development deal.

31 - PCCP (edit) (deal info) 1/20/16 - Passed - "It is too ex-urban for where we are focused these days. We tend to be focused on more infill projects for our construction program. For example, we are doing a $160 mm construction loan in downtown Stamford, CT right now. We also have a $100 mm construction loan on the main street in Waltham, MA (inside the beltway)

39 - Terra Capital Partners (edit) (deal info) 12/14/15 - Passed - They are running into an allocation issue for multifamily construction projects. They are closing on two deals before the end of the year, and those two projects have eaten into their current allocation. This could change if they receive some prepayment on other deals, but he is unable at this time to commit to a $13-$18 million facility to close by February.
40 - TH Real Estate (edit) (deal info) 1/15/16 - Passed - Peter met with them in NYC, and Woodbridge is too far outside their preference for urban locations

41 - The Carlyle Group (edit) (deal info) 01/15/16 - Passed - Had a 3.5 hour lunch on Wednesday to discuss the project, and it was initially well received by Rishi. Upon circling up internally, it appears that Carlyle had a bad experience in Prince William County with one of their prior funds, and as such he was unable to generate interest. He was not involved in the prior transaction, but said that the county came in when they were applying for their Certificate of Occupancy, and stated that numerous components were either not built to-code, or were not up to the standards that they required. As such, they had to rip out and redo a substantial amount of work which blew their budget and caused a significant delay to the project. Also mentioned that they tend to target between 100 - 250 units for suburban locations like Woodbridge, so it would likely also be tough from that standpoint as well.
42 DF The Davis Companies (edit) (deal info) 02/01/16 - Good conversation with Jerry Murphy. They have just finished their 2nd fund, and just had their first closing in their 3rd fund a few weeks back. Their fund will be between $500-$550 million in equity, and they are actively looking for opportunities. They specialize in heavy value-add or opportunistic deals with a level of complexity. They have done a number of deals with John Moriarty and Associates and are very comfortable with them as a general contractor. He is familiar with Woodbridge as he has looked at a few opportunities back with Bainbridge in that market. Their preference would be for joint-venture equity, and they would likely require a right to continue on to develop the phase II land. Preliminary feedback was positive, and he requested the market study and financial model so that their team can begin to dive in. He is aware of the timing pressures, and will try to get us some additional feedback towards the end of the week.; 02/04/16 - Left voicemail to follow-up
43 DF Torchlight Investors (edit) (deal info) 1/27/16 - Passed - Do not have a bucket for construction mezzanine at this time. They are focused on income producing assets targeting mid-teens returns.
