sale of and the $50.4 million acquisition financing for MacArthur Commons, a
371,886-square-foot, fully leased, grocery-anchored power center in the Lehigh

Abrams Realty & Development purchased the asset free and clear of existing
debt.
Additionally, working on behalf of the new

competitive marketing process for the financing.
