Holliday Fenoglio Fowler LP arranged the 10-year, interest-only, fixed-rate, securitized loan through Greenwich Capital Markets. HFF senior managing director Paul Brindley says the refinancing allowed the borrower to "pull out some proceeds" and "lock in a long-term rate that is very attractive as long-term owners." Citing client request, Birndley declined to reveal the interest rate or the loan-to-value ratio, and could not recall the amount of the loan that SPI paid off with the new loan.
SPI is a locally based private real estate investor and developer with an office in Dallas. The company owns a diversified 4 million-sf portfolio it describes as "institutional quality."
In June, SPI sold a two-building 340,000-sf office complex in the city's Financial District (550 California St. and 635 Sacramento St.) to Wells Fargo Bank for $110 million. Wells Fargo leases about half the space in the complex, which is located near its headquarters at 420 Montgomery St. SPI acquired the building in 2001 for $106 million.
In April, SPI acquired the Hayward Bridge Business Park in Hayward, CA, from Prudential Insurance Co. for $14 million. At the time of the transaction, the seven-building property was 100% leased.
