 HOUSTON, TX,  March 1, 2017 – Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced today that it has secured $11.5 million in financing for 2120 University, a 49,390-square-foot office property in downtown Berkeley, California. 

HFF worked on behalf of the borrower, Lionstone Investments, to place the 10-year acquisition loan through HFF’s correspondent relationship with an insurance company. 

2120 University is located at “Main and Main” in downtown Berkeley just off the campus of the University of California at Berkeley and within walking distance of the Downtown Berkeley BART station.  

Recently renovated in 2014, the seven-story property features two ground floor retail spaces and six floors of office space that is fully leased to WeWork.   

The HFF debt placement team representing the borrower was led by managing director Colby Mueck, associate director Brandon Roth and real estate analyst Rob Bova.

“There was a tremendous amount of enthusiasm from insurance companies, which is a testament to Lionstone’s track record, as well as lenders’ increased appetite this year for well-located, high quality real estate,” said Roth.
