CBRE has arranged a $45.8 million loan for the refinancing of Mohawk Business Park and a $28 million loan for the refinancing of 55 West in Portland, Ore.
Mark McGovern and Brian Cruz of CBRE arranged the loans on behalf of the owner of the properties, Connecticut-based real estate investment firm Westport Capital Partners.
Located in the Tualatin submarket of Portland, Mohawk Business Park is a 343,000 square-foot office park originally constructed in 1985. The property consists of ten buildings on a 26.5-acre site. The borrower is planning for future improvements to the asset and has recently invested capital in common area upgrades, spec suites, new signage and a new experience center.
55 West is located in the Hillsboro submarket of Portland. The 189,000 square-foot office park is comprised of three buildings built from 1984 to 1999. Substantial renovations have already been completed including a new 8,000 square-foot tenant lounge. Hillsboro is home to some of Oregon’s largest employers.
“Mohawk and 55 West are very well-positioned in Portland’s growing suburban markets to take advantage of current office trends,” said Mr. McGovern. “The assets have been strategically managed by Westport which will allow them to compete very effectively during the recovery.”
