Shorenstein Buys Mezzanine Debt on McCandless Towers

Shorenstein has acquired a $51.1M mezzanine loan collateralized by McCandless Towers in Santa Clara. Globe St. is reporting that the the debt was acquired at a discount.

McCandless Towers was purchased by Tishman Speyer last July at a cost of $500 PSF ($213M), representing a 4.5% cap rate. McCandless Towers features two 11-story, 210,000 square foot, Class A office buildings anchored by McAfee. The project was completed between 1986 and 1988 and features a 1,400 stall parking garage. The project was built by Swinerton and designed by Hoover Associates.

Shorenstein has been an active buyer of junior debt in primary markets, picking up debt in Washington D.C., New York, LA, and more locally, a $40 mezzanine loan on the Moffett Towers project in Sunnyvale which we wrote about back in October of 2007.
