READING, PA–Brandolini Companies has refinanced its Spring Towne Shopping Center, a 277,860-square-foot, Lowe's- and Giant-anchored retail center in Reading, Pennsylvania. HFF secured $17.7 million in a long-term, fixed-rate loan with an institutional quality insurance company that will be used to refinance an existing mortgage on the property.
The HFF team representing the seller was led by managing director Ryan Ade and senior real estate analyst Christopher Bigos. HFF declined to identify the insurance company that provided the financing.
“It's a great time to be refinancing, and keep assets' cash flowing at very low interest rates,” Ade tells GlobeSt.com exclusively. “Obviously there are more robust markets, but people still have to buy groceries, and improve their homes, so there are lots of great reasons to be in a market like Reading. There are plenty of people living in the market and shopping in the market.”
Built by Brandolini in 1990, the property has four buildings and a gas station. In addition to the anchor tenants, the center is more than 97-percent occupied by H&R Block, UPS Store, Great Clips, Pet Valu, Subway, Fulton Bank, Monro Muffler & Brake, Hallmark and other local retailers.
Located at 2641-2679 Shillington Road, Spring Towne Shopping Center has frontage along Route 724 with direct access to an exit ramp off the highly-trafficked Route 222. Together, 56,000 vehicles travel on these roads each day providing significant traffic to the property. More than 150,000 residents live within a five-mile radius of the property, and residents within a three-mile radius earn an average annual household income greater than $75,000.
