Cosentino North America formed Prisma Properties in 2006 as a separate real estate holding company. The Cosentino portfolio totals 473,453 sf on 37.1 acres, a mix of structures built since the mid-1970s in eight cities.

The fixed-rate swap-out was made at a 75% loan-to-value ratio and 20-year amortization. Marshall Davidson in the Houston office of New York City-based Cushman & Wakefield Sonnenblick Goldman set up Prisma with Norwalk, CT-based GE Real Estate, which provided a five-year loan to replace interim bank financing across the board.

John Coad, national strategy leader for GE's business property division, says the number of properties created a complex situation, but the deal was put to bed within 60 days. "We had a seasoned, tenured borrower with a tenured management team with attractive properties in good markets and success in growing their business in all economic cycles," he says.

The Macael, Spain-based Cosentino employs about 120 workers at 13124 Trinity Dr., its North America headquarters. The manufacturing and distribution portfolio consists of two locations in Houston and one each in Buda, TX, Denver, Lauderhill, FL, Orlando, Atlanta, Mundelein, IL and Mendota Heights, MN.
