Holliday Fenoglio Fowler (HFF) has arranged a $355 million construction loan for the development of a new headquarters campus for Vertex Pharmaceuticals at Fan Pier. The HFF team of executive managing director John Fowler, managing director Anthony Cutone, and senior real estate analyst Carlos Febres-Mazzei worked on behalf of The Fallon Company LLC and its investors to secure the construction loan.

The Vertex Headquarters facility will be a LEED-certified property featuring two 16-story office towers incorporating 1.1 million s/f of office and biomedical research space and 60,000 s/f of ground level retail above a 725-space parking garage.
