Holliday Fenoglio Fowler says it arranged $56.34 million infinancing through Capmark Finance and that the loan represents 70%of the total project cost. The 36-month, non-recourseadjustable-rate loan floats 325-basis points over the 30 Day LIBORindex. HFF's California executives Peter Smyslowski and ScottMcMullin were the lead arrangers.

"The deal got me excited because it attracted a good amount ofcapital interest," Smyslowski tells GlobeSt.com. "A key componentof the deal is that despite the loan size the lender did notrequire any syndication or flex language. The lender felt this wasa strong enough market that once the sponsor completed the buildingupgrades it would lease up quickly."
