BOSTON — HFF (NYSE: HF) has secured financing totaling $240 million for One Channel Center and the Channel Center Garage, a 501,650-square-foot, newly built office building and 967-space parking garage in Boston’s Seaport District. HFF represented the borrower, a venture between affiliates of Ares Management LLC and CV Properties LLC. The financing was structured as a $190 million first mortgage loan and a $50 million mezzanine loan. The loans will be used to refinance the construction loan on the property. One Channel Center, designed by the architectural firm of ADD Inc. in collaboration with Spalding Tougias Architects, was completed in June 2014. HFF also arranged the $170 million construction loan for the property in 2012. The 11-story One Channel Center is leased entirely to State Street Corp., an international financial services company. One Channel Center and the Channel Center Garage are located within the larger Channel Center master-plan area, a 2.1 million-square-foot mixed-use neighborhood combining office, luxury residential and street-front retail and restaurants. Channel Center is anchored by a series of landscaped parks that include the 1.7-acre Channel Center Park. Anthony Cutone, managing director, and Brett Paulsrud, senior real estate analyst, led the HFF debt placement team.
