CAMBRIDGE, MA – Fantini & Gorga announced the arrangement of a $30 million loan to refinance a 61,000 square foot office building located at 784 Memorial Drive in Cambridge, MA.

Owned by an affiliate of the Bulfinch Companies, the property was originally built in 1937, renovated and expanded in 1999, and renovated again in 2014.

Harvard University recently executed a long-term lease for the entire building with plans to house its Technology Services Department in the property. This iconic asset is conveniently located along the Charles River in the Cambridgeport neighborhood, equidistant from the campuses of Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

The Fantini & Gorga team was led by Wayne Clough, Managing Director, and Despina Hixon, Senior Director, who together arranged the financing with one of their correspondent life insurance companies.

“The lender understood the desirable location of the asset, strength of the tenant and excellent reputation of the sponsor.” Mr. Clough commented. “As a result, our correspondent lender was able to provide a loan committee vetted rate lock application in two business days for a very attractive long-term fixed rate loan”.
