Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced today that it has arranged $65 million in interim financing for the 307,509-square-foot retail component of CityCentre, a premier mixed-use urban development in Houston, Texas.
HFF worked on behalf of the borrower, a partnership between Midway and L&B Realty Advisors, to secure financing through JPMorgan and First Tennessee Bank.
Originally developed by the borrower in 2007, CityCentre comprises retail, office, hotel and residential space surrounded by European-style, open-air plazas and green spaces. The retail component is a shopping and entertainment destination lifestyle center that is leased to a variety of high-end national and regional retailers and restaurants, including Studio Movie Grill, west elm, Sur La Table, Eddie V’s, BRIO Tuscan Grille, Charming Charlie, H&M, Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie. Located at 800 Town and Country Boulevard, CityCentre is at the southeastern corner of Interstate 10 and Beltway 8 near Houston’s Energy Corridor. CityCentre is located in one of the wealthiest ZIP codes in Texas, as more than 10,800 residents earning an average annual household income of more than $169,800 live within a one-mile radius of the property.
The HFF debt placement team representing the borrower was led by executive managing director Scott Galloway and managing director Colby Mueck.
