The new multifamily loan is the latest in an active year for Kennedy Wilson’s debt investment platform. Summer 2024 marked the one-year anniversary of Kennedy Wilson’s acquisition of a $4.1 billion construction loan portfolio. Since then, Kennedy Wilson has completed $2.4 billion of multifamily and student housing construction originations totaling 8,900 units with high-quality institutional sponsors across the country. The company currently has a strong pipeline of multifamily and student housing loans.

Artwalk Towers, located in the heart of Jersey City’s Journal Square, will be a 49-story residential tower offering a full range of amenities, including an Art Walk connector to a PATH station that provides direct access to Manhattan, resort-style pool, BBQ area, state-of-the-art gym, co-working spaces, and a sky lounge with views of New York City. The project’s sponsor is Kushner Real Estate Group, one of the most prolific developers in Journal Square that has delivered over 1,800 units across multiple projects. Artwalk Towers is expected to be completed in Q4 2027.

"We are excited to close on our first loan with the Kushner Real Estate Group, which has a proven track record of delivering top-tier projects that meet the needs of the area’s residents," said Thomas Whitesell, Head of Kennedy Wilson's Debt Investment Group. "The Artwalk Towers loan aligns with our strategy to support transformative multifamily developments in urban areas, and this closing is a great way to celebrate the debt group’s one year anniversary at Kennedy Wilson, which has included more than $2.4 billion of originations to high-impact multifamily and student housing projects across the country.”

Kennedy Wilson has a 2.5% weighted average ownership in the loans closed since Summer 2024. The company is earning customary management fees in its role as asset manager.
