ORLANDO—Banyan Street and Gap Primera Owner LLC has secured a $30.3 million loan to acquire two class A office buildings in Orlando: Primera 1 and Primera II. NXT Capital of Chicago originated the four-year, interest-only loan at what CBRE calls an “aggressive rate.” CBRE arranged the deal.
“By moving quickly, the borrower was able to acquire the asset at an enviable basis,” says CBRE vice chairman Charles Foschini. “We chose a lender who could deliver in an accelerated fashion. The loan provided for the purchase as well as future leasing dollars. Therefore, Banyan can take full advantage of Orlando's rapidly recovering office market and reposition the asset for an institutional exit, once stabilized.”
Primera I and II, which total 306,616 square feet, are 16 miles north of the Orlando Central Business District. The office buildings are in the Primera Office Park, a 12-acre community located at the intersection of Interstate 4 and Lake Mary Boulevard, with visibility directly from the interstate.
Constructed between 1997 and 1998 on a 20.25-acre site, the multi-tenant buildings offer parking at almost five per 1,000 square feet, a fitness center with lockers and shower facilities, and 24-hour building access. The office buildings are also within walking distance to hotels, retail centers, and restaurants.
Blue Cross Blue Shield, Public Risk Underwriters of Florida, Paylocity Corporation, and HNTB Corporation are the largest tenants. The area surrounding Primera includes high-income housing, as well as restaurants, high-end hotels, shopping malls, and other retail areas.
