Dealmaker: HFF Secures $210M for Office Assets

Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, Houston, secured $209.6 million for California and Illinois office properties.

In Mountain View, Calif., the firm arranged $150 million in financing for 1625 Plymouth, a build-to-suit office development in the city’s North Bayshore submarket. Borrower Broadreach Capital Partners received a fixed-rate permanent loan through the New York State Teachers Retirement System, New York.

HFF Senior Managing Director Bruce Ganong and Analyst Bercut Smith represented Broadreach Capital Partners. Ganong said the loan closing coincided with Broadreach completing construction of the “warm shell” and delivering the building to the tenant for their tenant improvement buildout. Real Estate Business Online said Google has pre-leased the entire 245,700-square-foot building. 

The highly amenitized building will include multiple outdoor deck spaces for functions and activities. Ganong noted 1625 Plymouth is directly off Highway 101 in Silicon Valley near affluent communities in the Bay Area, including Atherton, Palo Alto, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Portola Valley and Woodside.

HFF also arranged $59.6 million to refinance Old Orchard Towers, a 350,000-square-foot Class A office complex in Skokie, Ill. Managing Director Christopher Carroll led a team representing Zeller Realty Group, Chicago. Ares Commercial Real Estate Corp., New York, supplied the three-year, floating-rate loan.

Old Orchard Towers at 5202 and 5250 Old Orchard Road in northwestern Chicago’s North Shore submarket is five miles from Chicago city limits and 13 miles from Chicago O’Hare International Airport. The two seven-story towers, connected via a concourse and a parking deck, are 91 percent leased to 16 tenants. The property also includes a 2.5-acre vacant land parcel for future development.
