HOUSTON — Whitestone REIT has landed an $80 million loan for the acquisition of BLVD Place, a 216,692-square-foot mixed-use asset located at 1700 Post Oak Blvd. in the Galleria area of Houston. Anchored by Whole Foods Market, the property was 99 percent occupied at the time of loan closing to tenants such as Frost Bank, Verizon Wireless and True Food. Matt Kafka and Kelly Layne of HFF arranged the 10-year, fixed-rate loan. Whitestone acquired the property for approximately $158 million from a partnership between San Francisco-based asset management firm Bailiard Inc. and local developer Wulfe & Co.
