Walsh of Tremont Realty Capital structures $14.5 million bridge loan for the redevelopment of 201 Burlington Road

The Boston office of Tremont Realty Capital arranged a $14.5 million bridge loan for the redevelopment of 201 Burlington Rd., a two building office complex comprising 135,000 s/f. Dennis Walsh, senior director, arranged the non-recourse bridge loan which was funded by a regional bank. 201 Burlington is located at the junction of Rte. 62 and Rte. 3 on the Burlington/Bedford line. Walsh said, "The challenge in executing this transaction was in overcoming the asset's 100% vacancy. The strong market fundamentals, the reasonably quick delivery of space to the market and the excellent local sponsorship were compelling factors in getting the lenders comfortable with the transaction."
