In the latest sign that financing is starting to trickle back into California’s property market, a group of investors is pumping cash into a huge, but stalled, $1.4 billion master-planned community being developed on the site of a former military base.

Under terms of the investment, Boston-based State Street Bank & Trust Co., a unit of State Street Corp., and a group of investors that includes several private-equity funds and pension funds will provide $400 million in cash and credit to the project, called Heritage Fields at El Toro.

The transaction represents a significant step forward for Five Point, which like other developers has struggled to find financing for horizontal development, or the work that goes into building roads, sewers and other infrastructure that needs to be laid before homes and commercial buildings can be built.
