By GlobalDataThe loan is part of Madison’s income strategy to provide transitional loans to institutional sponsors.
This is not the first time that Madison has provided a loan to Fort Partners. A $210m loan was granted to the company in 2019 to support the development of Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences Fort Lauderdale.
Fort Partners partner Michael Conaghan said: “This is our second large loan with Madison Realty Capital, and again they executed quickly and delivered certainty of execution.
“Madison offered a highly competitive rate with a flexible structure that will allow us to effectively implement our renovation and repositioning plan for this strategic asset.”
Fort Partners was represented by JLL managing director Jim Dockerty, senior managing director, Kevin Davis, and managing director Mark Fisher for the transaction.
