Wheaton, ILL. — Newmark Grubb Knight Frank’s Real Estate Finance Group has arranged $22 million in acquisition financing for Danada Square East, a 202,036-square-foot retail center in Wheaton, a western suburb of Chicago. The largest tenant, Dominick’s, a grocery store, occupies 77,155 square feet at the center, which was 96 percent occupied at closing. The borrower, a Chicago-based institutional investor, acquired the center in June for $32 million from the Orange County California Employees Retirement System. The 5-year, nonrecourse loan includes two years of interest-only payments followed by a 25-year amortization schedule. Ben Greazel, senior managing director at Newmark Grubb Knight, arranged the financing between the borrower and the lender, a Chicago-based bank.
