The transaction was structured with a 10-year term on a 25-year amortization schedule. NorthMarq arranged financing for the borrower through its relationship with a regional bank.
The center is anchored by Mattress Firm, FedEx and ForEyes (GrandVision).
“We were happy to secure a 10-year fixed-rate loan under a non-recourse structure for this first-time investment property buyer,” said Whelan.
