Manchester, CT Fantini & Gorga arranged a $2.75 million first mortgage loan for the acquisition of TGI Fridays. Fantini & Gorga placed the financing on behalf of a long-standing client that has offices here in New England and in Florida. 

Casimir Groblewski, senior managing director, and Lindsay Feig, director, represented their client in the transaction. “We were pleased to assist our client in acquiring this property as the down leg of a 1031 tax deferred exchange,” said Groblewski. “This TGI Fridays is well located and has been successful since it opened  in 1997. The loan was placed with a Massachusetts-based financial institution that understood our client’s timing and loan structure needs. Due to the strength and experience of the sponsor, the new 15 year NNN lease with annual rent escalations, and the moderate loan to value ratio, the lender was able to offer a low rate and could guarantee execution.”

The subject property is at the corner of Hale Rd. and Slater St., adjacent to the Marriott Courtyard Hartford, and in front of the Marriott Residence Inn. It consists of a free-standing building with 7,732 s/f of net rentable area, on a lot measuring 2.52 acres.

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.
