The loan has a 5.98% interest rate, 10-year term and 30-year amortization schedule, Buddy Hopson, senior vice president with Kinghorn, Driver, Hough & Co. in Houston, tells GlobeSt.com. The loan represents a 75% loan-to-value ratio.

Hopson, who arranged the financing, says the developer owns half of the 58,914-sf center, sitting on 10.5 acres at the intersection of Beltway 8 and West Road. The other half of the retail space once housed an H-E-B grocery store, but it has relocated to a larger store and backfilled the estimated 29,000 sf with a 99 Cents Only shop. The two-year-old shopping center is 92% occupied, with a McDonald's restaurant tied to an out-parcel ground lease. Other tenants include State Farm Insurance, Texas Flooring and Square Donuts.

Hopson says the transaction was a win with the lender because is it a "well-designed retail center that takes full advantage of its location at the intersection of a major transportation artery and a freeway." The center is located in a budding retail area for several residential neighborhoods that have sprung up along West Road.
