LAGUNA HILLS, CALIF. — George Smith Partners (GSP) has arranged two loans totaling $39.4 million in acquisition financing for a five-building office campus in Laguna Hills. Situated on 16 acres, the properties are located at 23332, 23382 and 23422 Mill Creek Drive and 2441 and 24461 Ridge Route Drive.
The first loan included $24.8 million of non-recourse, seven-year, fixed-rate CMBS debt for the purchase of three office buildings that are 84 percent leased and total 158,000 square feet.
