First National Bank of Omaha leads the senior financing. First National Bank of Pennsylvania and Busey Bank also participated in the financing. 

Harbor Bay Real Estate Advisors CEO Mark Bell said: “We’re ecstatic to be able to close financing in such challenging economic conditions on a project that’s been years in the making. 

“Launching our INTRO brand of timber-framed buildings here in the Ohio City neighbourhood is certain to gain national attention for the City of Cleveland, especially at such a historic corner.”

The project also received a $10.8m loan from the State of Ohio’s Development Services Agency and a $2m loan from the City of Cleveland.

Construction on the project is expected to take approximately 22 months, with an opening scheduled for the first quarter of 2022.

Upon completion, the 120ft-tall building will become the tallest mass timber-framed structure in the US.

Ian Bradley of TSB Capital Advisors said: “We’ve worked closely with Mark, Dan Whalen and the entire Harbor Bay team since the early stages of this project, and to get it across the finish line in the most tumultuous stretch the capital markets have seen since the Great Recession speaks to how critical this project is as a part of the overall vision for Ohio City. 

“My hat goes off to everyone involved, from the Harbor Bay team, to city and state government officials, to the lenders. This closing is a tremendous team accomplishment that will be surpassed only by the finished product itself.”
