CHICAGO- Orland Towne Center, a 136,945-square-foot retail property located at 159th Street and 94th Avenue in Southwest suburban Orland Hills, has secured a $7.8 million refinance of its mortgage. Jeff Frankel, a senior vice president and senior director in NorthMarq's Chicago regional office, arranged the transaction.

Major tenants at Orland Towne Center include the Sports Authority, Five Below, PetSmart, and Aldi, the low-cost grocery. The center is shadow-anchored by a Walmart Supercenter.

Financing was based on a 12-year term and a 12-year amortization schedule and was arranged for the borrower, Vista Equities, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company, by NorthMarq through its relationship with a non-correspondent life company lender.

“This transaction is an early refinance of loan with the current lender who rolled their prepayment penalty into the new loan rate,” Frankel said.

Other recent suburban transactions by NorthMarq include a $4.9 million mortgage refinancing for 19-27 Jefferson Street in downtown Naperville. This property contains 21,000-square-feet of storefront retail with Lululemon, Cold Stone Creamery and Jimmy Johns as its major tenants.

Erik Kunz, a vice president of NorthMarq, also from the Chicago office, arranged the transaction. Financing was based on a 10-year term and a 30-year amortization schedule and was arranged for the borrower, Jefferson Retail LLC, through a CMBS lender.

“This loan allowed a portion of the land in the rear of the buildings to be removed at some later point in time,” Kunz said.
