Caruso and Rans of iCap Boston place $12.25m for Capetown Plaza
iCap Boston has completed the placement of a first mortgage loan on the Capetown Retail Plaza.
The Plaza's Rte. 132 address situates the center across the street from the Cape Cod Mall. This center has great historical occupancy financial performance.
Anchored by K-Mart and Filene's Basement, the plaza was built in 1969 and totals over 237,000 s/f.
The $12.25 million loan is approximately 55% of value. Jennifer Caruso and Max Rans of iCap's Boston office placed the loan with an international bank that iCap has a strong lending relationship with. Some of the challenges this loan presented were a ground lease with only 16 years remaining and a dark anchor.
Wallingford, CT O,R&L Commercial has completed the $3.8 million sale of a mixed-use investment property located at 33-39 North Main St. and 24-25 Wallace Ave. in the town center.
This may seem self-serving, and I’ll be the first to admit it. But unlike some of the artificial intelligence tools now reshaping our industry, I am fully aware of my own bias. So, hear me out. The rise of AI in commercial real estate is not a distant threat or a speculative headline.
Now what? As the year comes to a close, the state of retail is always in the news. The answers vary greatly depending on who in the various related industries you ask, each offering a unique lens on the challenges and opportunities ahead.
