LOS ANGELES – HFF announced it has arranged a $40.41 million financing for bLAckwelder, a 150,627-square-foot creative office campus in Los Angeles, California.

HFF worked on behalf of the borrower, a joint venture between Alcion Ventures and Genton Property Group, to secure the three-year, floating-rate bridge and construction loan through U.S. Bank.  The loan will be used for the continued redevelopment of the asset.

The bLAckwelder campus is located on La Cienega Boulevard at the intersection of Fairfax Avenue just north of Jefferson Boulevard and approximately one-half mile south of Interstate 10. 

The project is situated on a 6.18-acre site that consists of 19 renovated, to-be-renovated, or to-be-constructed creative office buildings.  13 buildings were recently renovated and are 100 percent leased to multiple tenants.

  Five of the six remaining buildings are scheduled for conversion from industrial to creative office space, with the last scheduled to be demolished and replaced with a new creative office building.

The HFF team representing the borrower was led by managing director Mark Wintner along with senior managing director Doug Bond.
