Holliday Fenoglio Fowler LP arranged nearly $220 million for various office, retail and multifamily projects nationwide.
In Dallas, HFF secured $110 million in refinancing for a seven-building office portfolio totaling 801,153 square feet in North Dallas-area communities Plano and Carrollton, Texas.
Representing the Billingsley Co., HFF secured a three-year, floating-rate, non-recourse loan with two one-year extension options through Ares Commercial Real Estate Corp. Proceeds of the loan will be used to refinance the existing debt and stabilize the property.
The portfolio buildings are at 4000, 4120, 4100, 6400, 6404, 6500 and 6504 International Parkway within the International Business Park, a 50-acre office park in Plano and Carrolton. The buildings are situated near the northwest intersection of two of the most heavily trafficked highways in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, The Dallas North Tollway and President George Bush Turnpike. Completed between 1997 and 2001, the two- and three-story buildings are 87 percent leased. The portfolio features 24-hour security, on-site management and maintenance, a health club, café, gas grills for corporate and campus events and green spaces.
The HFF debt placement team representing the borrower was led by senior managing director Trey Morsbach and senior director Jim Curtin.
In Orlando, Fla., HFF arranged a $12.8 million refinancing for Adanson Marketplace, a 156,377-square-foot retail center anchored by Walmart Neighborhood Market.
HFF worked on behalf of the sponsor, Cutwater Capital LLC, to place the floating-rate loan with Iberia Bank. Loan proceeds will be used to pay off an existing loan and provide capital for future leasing.
Anchored by a new Walmart Neighborhood Market and Fuel Center completed in November 2016, Adanson Marketplace is home to Dollar Tree, Sam Ash Music Store, Metro PCS, McDonald’s and La Spada’s Subs. The center recently underwent renovations, including updating the façade, storefronts, sidewalks, landscaping and parking areas.
Situated on 14.7 acres at 902-1028 Lee Road, the center is located in an infill location along Adanson Street and Lee Road, which serves as a major east-west commercial corridor through Central Florida and exposes the center to 45,000 vehicles per day. Additionally, Adanson Marketplace is one-third of a mile from Interstate 4, Central Florida’s busiest highway.
The HFF debt placement team was led by senior managing directors Michael Weinberg and Brad Peterson.
“Despite all the headlines about the downfall of retail, there is still plenty of debt capital out there for grocery-anchored and necessity-based shopping centers like this one,” Weinberg said.

The seven-story, mixed-use building is due for completion in 2019.

In suburban Chicago, HFF closed the sale of and arranged acquisition bridge financing for Corporetum Office Campus VI, a two-building office property totaling 168,698 square feet in Lisle, Ill.
HFF marketed the property on behalf of the seller, Winthrop Liquidation Trust, and procured the buyer, Center Core Properties, an Evanston, Ill.-based real estate investment firm that targets opportunistic investments in up-and-coming markets. Additionally, HFF worked on behalf of the buyer to secure the three-year bridge loan through Thorofare Capital that includes a facility for capital improvements and leasing costs.

The four- and five-story buildings are 83.2 percent leased to tenants, including Fairway Mortgage, Primera Engineers, ABM Janitorial, Circle K and United Health Care. Amenities at the two-building campus include a fitness center, conference center, on-site café and deli, outdoor tenant balconies and 575 surface parking spaces.
The HFF investment sales team representing the seller comprised Patrick Shields, Jaime Fink, Jeff Bramson and Bryan Rosenberg.
