Grandbridge Real Estate Capital recently arranged a $19,900,000 first mortgage term loan secured by Cortez Plaza, a 274,398 square foot big box retail property in Bradenton, Florida. Anchor tenants include Burlington Coat Factory, PetSmart, LA Fitness and Shoe Carnival.
Grandbridge Miami-based Senior Vice President Alex Haw originated the transaction. The permanent, fixed rate loan was provided by one of Grandbridge’s Florida banking correspondents.
“At a time when many lenders are pulling away from big box retail, Grandbridge was able to highlight the numerous strengths of the deal and arrange bank financing at a competitive fixed rate,” Haw stated.
