MINNEAPOLIS — ARC Realty Finance Trust Inc. has closed on a $6.5 million mezzanine loan originated as part of $57.5 million in total financing provided to the ownership of the W Minneapolis. The 32-story, 229-room, full-service luxury hotel is located in downtown Minneapolis. Also known as The Foshay, the property was modeled after the Washington Monument when it was built in 1929 and was added to the National Registry of Historic Places in 1978 as an example of Art Deco architecture. The Foshay was originally built as office space until 2006, when the current ownership acquired, renovated and repositioned the property as the W Minneapolis.
