MORRIS COUNTY, NJ – JLL capital markets has arranged $147.72 million in financing, on behalf of the joint-venture partnership between Onyx Equities, Taconic Capital Partners, Axonic Capital and Machine Investment Group, for a 1.5-million-square-foot office portfolio in Morris County, NJ.
JLL worked on behalf of the joint-venture partnership to secure the three-year, floating-rate loan, provided by funds managed by Ares Management Corp.’s real estate group. JLL capital markets’ Steven Klein, Christopher Peck, Michael Klein, Jose Cruz and Alex Staikos represented the borrower in securing the financing.
The loan proceeds were used to acquire the 10-property office portfolio from Mack-Cali. The sale transaction was represented by JLL’s capital markets team.
