NEWARK, N.J. — JLL has arranged a $113.5 million acquisition loan for a portfolio of two downtown Newark office buildings totaling roughly 816,000 square feet. The portfolio also includes a 901-space parking garage. Originally built in the 1920s, the buildings are leased on a long-term basis to The State of New Jersey, which houses more than 3,500 employees across 35 departments at the site. Michael Klein, Jon Mikula and Matthew Pizzolato of JLL, along with Brad Domenico of Progress Capital, arranged the three-year, floating-rate loan through ACORE Capital. The borrower, a partnership between SHIFT Capital, The Hanini Group and CoInvestment Partners, will use a portion of the proceeds to fund capital improvements.
