Kelly of CBRE/New England places $4.2 million financing
CBRE/New England's capital markets team has completed $4.2 million acquisition financing for Park Plaza Apartments located at 507 Main St. The buyer, Main Five Zero Seven, LLC, an affiliate of Advanced Realty Management, purchased the building along with a nearby parking lot for $5 million.
CBRE/NE's first vice president of multi-housing debt and structured finance, John Kelly, worked on behalf of the buyer to secure the financing.
"We are very pleased to have facilitated the financing for this transaction on behalf of our longstanding client," said Kelly. "We were able to work with one of our local banking partners to arrange acquisition financing on a tight timeline. A commitment was issued within two weeks and the transaction closed inside of 30 days from start to finish."
"This acquisition is aligned with our strength of buying properties where we see substantial value in our core markets," said Joseph Donovan of Advanced Realty Management. "Park Plaza is well located within our existing management footprint in the revitalized downtown Worcester market. We are pleased with the excellent speed and execution CBRE/NE's Debt & Structured Finance platform provided. We will continue to be active on the acquisition and redevelopment side of the business in 2014."
