PORTLAND, OR –– Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced it has advised ScanlanKemperBard Companies (SKB) on the $53 million disposition and recapitalization of the American Bank Building, a historic office building in Portland’s central business district.  

Additionally, HFF worked on behalf of the new partnership to secure $41.7 million in financing.

Working on behalf of SKB, HFF recapitalized the property with Lionstone Investments and arranged a four-year, floating-rate loan through CIT Bank for the new partnership. 

Originally built in 1914, the American Bank Building is a 15-story historic creative office building at 621 SW Morrison Street.  Prominent tenants at the 61.1-percent-leased building include Wells Fargo and The Department of Justice.
