Get field within loop using loop counter

I have a grid displaying a custom post type on my WordPress homepage, where I also add a text block div after the second post using a loop counter.

I wanted to display that text block using an ACF field, but the loop only worked if I hard coded the div like this:

<div class="projects-list" id="projects">
	<div class="project-item"><?php the_field('intro_text_1'); ?></div>
  <?php
$args = array( 'post_type' => 'project', 'posts_per_page' => 60 );
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
?>
<div class="project-item"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
   <?php the_post_thumbnail( 'homepage-thumb' ); ?>

   <div class="overlay"><div class="caption">
                        <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
                        <?php
                            $terms = get_the_terms($post->ID, 'work_type');
                            if ($terms) {
                                $terms = array_map(
                                    function($obj) {
                                        return $obj->name;
                                    },
                                    $terms
                                );
                                echo '<div class="project-work-type">(' . implode(', ', $terms) . ')</div>';
                            }
                        ?>
                    </div>
  </div></div>
  </a>
<strong><?php if( $loop->current_post == 2 ) {
echo '<div class="project-item text-box">Pitch Design Union makes websites, books, brands, & custom lettering, some of which are shown here.</div>';
} ?></strong>
 <?php endwhile;?>

	</div>

I was hoping to put in something like:
<div class="project-item"><?php the_field('intro_text_1'); ?></div>

Is there something I’m missing? Or a workaround?

I may be a little lost as to were you want to put the second bit of code. Are you attempting to put it where you have this:

echo '<div class="project-item text-box">Pitch Design Union makes......

and it is supposed to show the same text as where you have this on the second line of your code

<div class="project-item"><?php the_field('intro_text_1'); ?></div>
