SAN DIEGO — Meridian Capital Group has arranged a $21.1 million acquisition loan for the purchase and improvement of Sorrento Court Shopping Center in San Diego. The borrower is The Festival Companies, a Los Angeles-based retail developer. The 36-month loan, provided by a debt fund, features full-term, interest-only payments, a floating interest rate and two 12-month extension options.
Located at 9420-9460 Scranton Road, the 55,000-square-foot retail center features 17 quick-service restaurants and a variety of tenants, including Starbucks Coffee, Jamba Juice, Staples, Bank of America and J.P. Morgan Chase. At the time of closing, the center was 96 percent occupied.
