Permanent financing in the amount of $27 million was arranged for a five-building corporate campus in Milford, Conn. A major regional bank provided the funding on behalf of Crown Milford, LLC. Located at 470-488 Wheelers Farm Road, Crown Milford Corporate Campus offers 425,000 s/f of space in five class A buildings situated on 47 acres of land. With convenient access from the Merritt Parkway and 1-95, the campus also offers ample parking, on-site management and a cafeteria. The campus is currently 80% occupied.

The new owners of 1010 Washington Boulevard, a 137,589 s/f office property in downtown Stamford, plan to make substantial capital improvements by this summer. The property is currently 90% occupied. Allstate Insurance Company, a correspondent lender for L.J. Melody & Company, provided the funding for this loan on behalf of 1010 Washington Investors, LLC.

Permanent financing in the amount of $10o5 million was arranged in a transaction where the loan proceeds were used to refinance and prepay an existing loan. The borrower was able to add the cost of prepayment to the loan balance and justify the higher loan amount due to increased cash flows generated from a lower interest rate. The loan was arranged for a group of retail and medical office buildings located at 1229, 1275 and 1305 Post Road in Fairfield, Conn. The three properties, known as The Brickwalk, were originally constructed between 1966 and 1973 and contain a total of 96,883 s/f of space. Bear Stearns provided the funding on behalf of DAC Associates, LLC.
