Fantini & Gorga arranges $9 million in financing for two properties

Boston-based Fantini & Gorga arranged $9 million in permanent first mortgage financing for two retail properties, including a Walgreens in Newton Centre, and a multi-tenanted property in Burlington, on behalf of a Boston-based family investment and development firm. The Fantini & Gorga team of Casimir Groblewski, Tim O'Donnell and Despina Hatzipetrou arranged the financing with a major Massachusetts-based financial institution. "These two well-located assets attracted a significant amount of attention from lenders," said Groblewski. "We were pleased to be able to negotiate two loans with the lender that gave our client the long term rate stability that it sought and at the same time recognized the quality of the assets and the experience of the Sponsor." Containing 9,744 s/f of net rentable space, the Walgreens opened for business in the late 1980s. It features a full basement for storage. The property is ideally located in heart of Newton Centre, near the intersection of Langley Rd. and Beacon St. One Wheeler Rd. is located at the corner of Wheeler Rd. and Middlesex Tpke. in Burlington. The property is fully leased to three regionally based tenants.

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.
