HFF arranges $27.5 million financing for Seattle area shopping center



 IRVINE, CA – HFF announced it has arranged a $27.5 million refinancing for Northgate North (top left photo), a 303,255-square-foot, multi-level shopping center in Seattle, Washington.

HFF worked on behalf of Retail Properties of America, Inc. (NYSE: RPAI) to secure the 15-year, fixed-rate loan through ING Investment Management, LLC out of Atlanta, Georgia.

“Northgate North is a core, strategic property in our retail portfolio.  It is located in a dense, infill area of Seattle with strong demographics and a well-diversified tenant lineup, led by Target,” said Angela Aman, executive vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer for RPAI.

Northgate North is located at 302 Northeast Northgate Way near Interstate 5.  The property is less than half of a mile from Northgate Mall.  The center is 99 percent leased to Best Buy, Ross Dress for Less, Petco and Sports Authority.

The HFF team representing the borrower was led by senior managing director Kevin Mackenzie (lower right photo) and managing director Tom Wilson.
