MIAMI-Blumberg/Brickell Ltd. has obtained $18.1 million in refinancing for Banco Santander Center, a 189,000-sf office building in the city’s sought-after Brickell Avenue submarket. Meanwhile, the building is being marketed for sale.

Aegon Realty Advisors, a US commercial real estate lender, provided the fixed-rate financing. Paul Whalen and Joshua Schrager of Whalen Realty Capital LLC in Hollywood, FL, arranged the transaction for Blumberg/Brickell Ltd., which is owned by American Ventures Realty Corp.
