John Chun Chun: “For 2017, we are seeing capital allocations from a wide variety of capital sources for cash-flowing assets at the same level or higher than their 2016 goals.”

SAN MARCOS, CA—Pure retail-power-center plays in a secondary location can be more challenging from a financing perspective unless a borrower has a clear strategy for repositioning the tenant base, HFF director John Chun tells GlobeSt.com. Chun, along with HFF associate Sebastian Trujillo and real estate analyst AJ Manas, led the retail debt placement team representing Newport Beach CA-based development companies United American Properties Inc. and World Premier Investments Inc. in placing a 25-year, fixed-rate loan with J.P. Morgan Asset Management for the $92-million refinancing of Grand Plaza, a 356,796-square-foot retail power center with a grocery anchor here. We spoke with Chun about the financing market for this type of asset in San Diego and how lenders view this market for retail power centers.
