Broderick of Colliers Meredith & Grew arranges $9.5m refinancing

June 09, 2010 - Financial Digest
Colliers Meredith & Grew's Capital Markets group has arranged a $9.5 million refinancing for Post Road Plaza, a 209,567 s/f retail complex located at 246 East Main St. The plaza is 98% leased to tenants including Marshalls Inc., CVS, Price Chopper and Ocean State Job Lot. Vice president John Broderick of Colliers Meredith & Grew represented the borrower, Karnak Realty LLC. Aviva Investors, the global asset management business of Aviva plc, financed the transaction. The 20-year, fixed-rate loan closed in April. "This was a highly competitive process due to the property's strong tenant mix and overall value," said Broderick. "What separated Aviva from the pack of potential lenders was its ability to provide a long-term, fixed-rate deal at very competitive pricing."
