NEW YORK, NY – HFF announced that it has secured a $65 million refinancing for Ten Penn Center (top left photo), a 667,825-square-foot, Class A office tower in downtown Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Working exclusively on behalf of Ten Penn Associates, L.P., a joint venture between Sterling American Property Inc. and Greenville Partners, HFF placed the five-year, fixed-rate loan through Guggenheim Commercial Real Estate Finance.
