WASHINGTON, D.C. — Cassidy Turley arranged $172 million in senior and mezzanine bridge financing for the 385,765-square-foot trophy office building Republic Square I, located at 25 Massachusetts Ave. in Washington, D.C., on behalf of Republic Properties. The senior loan, originated by an undisclosed commercial bank, and the mezzanine loan, provided by a private equity fund, will serve to refinance the previous loan and to fund future leasing coasts. The building is currently 60 percent leased. If necessary, another 200,000 square feet can be added on an adjacent parcel, known as Republic Square II. David Webb, John Campanella and Jamie Butler of Cassidy Turley's Washington D.C. office structured the two-tiered debt transaction.
