WALL TOWNSHIP, NJ–Holliday Fenoglio Fowler was busy arranging more than $100 million in financing this week, including an $83.45 million refinancing for a portfolio of office assets totaling 14 buildings and 946,374 square feet in New Jersey and Massachusetts, and a $23.7 million refinancing for 1800 Route 34, a 189,836-square-foot, four-building office/flex complex in Wall Township, NJ.

For the 14-building transaction, which spans several Northeastern states, HFF worked on behalf of the borrower, Normandy Real Estate Partners, to secure the floating-rate loan with JP Morgan Chase & Company and Rialto Capital.

Individual property details are listed below:

The HFF debt placement team representing the borrower was led by senior managing directors Jon Mikula and Riaz Cassum and managing director Porter Terry.

On the Wall Township transaction, HFF director Michael Klein and his debt placement team worked on behalf of the borrower, The Donato Group, to secure the 10-year, fixed-rate loan through CIBC World Markets.

“With a concern about interest rates rising in the near future and the desire for maximum proceeds, the borrower elected to prepay a number of loans and take interest rate risk out of the equation for the next 10 years,” says Klein. CIBC understood this unique Monmouth County submarket as demonstrated by the complex's strong historical occupancy and recognized the quality of the buildings construction and the borrower's strong hands on management style to provide aggressive terms that best met the borrower's needs.”

1800 Route 34 is situated less than two miles from both Interstate 195 and the Garden State Parkway at the intersection of Route 34 and W. Hurley Pond Road. The complex has above average parking at 950 spaces, which represents five spaces per 1,000 square feet, as well as a 3,400-square-foot restaurant that is open for breakfast, lunch and catering within the complex. Constructed between 2001 and 2007, the class A property is currently 95 percent leased. Significant tenants include French & Parrello, First Credit Union, The Earle Companies, KMB Design Group, Secova Securities and Eckman Recycling.
