Brookline, MA Boston-based Fantini & Gorga arranged $2.5 million in first mortgage financing for a 7,700 s/f, retail plaza located on 1427-1431 and 1441 Beacon St., which is in close proximity to Coolidge Corner.  The site is located on a corner lot on Beacon St. which is one of the main retail corridors in Brookline. The borrower was a former Massachusetts resident, but has since relocated to California.

The retail property is 100% occupied and is anchored by a new ten year lease to East Boston Savings Bank which commenced in 2016. The plaza has two other long-time tenants which service the neighborhood and the surrounding areas as a ballet school and a day care.

The Fantini & Gorga team was led by Derek Coulombe, managing director, and Chris Miller, director, who together arranged the refinancing on behalf of the borrower. The loan was placed with a major Massachusetts-based financial institution. 

“This assignment generated a great deal of interest from a variety of lenders, all of whom recognized the high quality of this asset as well as the property’s excellent location and occupancy history. The result was an attractive fixed rate option, non-recourse loan,” said Coulombe.

Ask the Electrician: How do I prepare my commercial building for a disaster?

New England’s notorious weather – from fierce winter storms to summer squalls and fall hurricanes – can leave businesses in the dark. While power outages are often blamed on storms, they can also be caused by unforeseen events like accidents or construction mishaps. While it’s impossible to prevent disasters and power outages entirely, proactive preparation can significantly minimize their impact on your commercial building.

Long-term interest rates have fallen by 100 basis points, and the market is normalizing. In December of 2022 I wrote an article about investing in a high interest rate, high inflation market. Since then, inflation has cooled off, and the Fed has begun lowering their funds rate.
