The loan collateral also includes land for the future development of 105,000 additional square feet of retail space.

HFF worked on behalf of the borrower, New England Development and a commingled fund managed by Clarion Partners, to secure the long-term, fixed-rate loan through Cornerstone Real Estate Advisers LLC, acting on behalf of an institutional client.  Loan proceeds were used to acquire the property.

Completed in February 2014, Palm Beach Outlets consists of eight small retail buildings surrounding two larger retail structures in a racetrack design layout plus 3,182 parking spaces and five out-parcels (one to-be-developed).

 The property is anchored by Saks Off 5th Avenue and is 95.8 percent leased to 120 additional tenants including Nike Factory Store, Forever 21, Gap, Banana Republic, JCrew, Ann Taylor Factory Store, Brooks Brothers, Under Armour, Vera Bradley and Kenneth Cole. 

Palm Beach Outlets is situated on 58.5 acres at 1751 Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard and shares access with the 300,000-square-foot Whole Foods-anchored Marketplace at the Outlets (not included in the loan).  The property has one-half mile of frontage along Interstate 95 and direct access from the highway at Exit 71.

 This location has a daily traffic count of more than 195,000 cars per day and pulls from a trade area with an average household income of more than $77,000 annually. 

Palm Beach Outlets is the first and only retail outlet center in Palm Beach County, with no other outlet centers within a 55-mile radius. 

The HFF debt placement team representing the borrower was led by senior managing director Riaz Cassum and director Chris Drew.  Additional support was provided by senior real estate analyst Robyn King.

“Palm Beach Outlet’s irreplaceable infill location coupled with an impressive tenant lineup and superior sponsorship made this an ideal senior loan,” said Drew.
