PHILADELPHIA, PA –– Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced it has secured $45 million in financing for Avenir, a 180-unit, luxury mixed-use apartment and retail tower in Center City Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Working on behalf of the borrower, a joint venture between the Scully Company, Alterra Property Group, LLC and Spring Creek Investment Management, HFF placed the seven-year, fixed-rate loan with Webster Bank (Webster), a leading regional bank based in Waterbury, Connecticut, with local offices located in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania.  Loan proceeds will replace the existing construction loan.
