The deals include a $213.7-million loan secured by Related Beal’s 451 D street (pictured), a 474,000-square-foot, Class B+ office building in Boston, and a $165-million loan secured by Nightingale Properties’ 1635 Market St. and 1835 Market St., two Class B+ office buildings totaling 974,000 square feet in Philadelphia.
The Boston loan has a three-year initial term with two one-year extension options, carries a coupon of LIBOR+2.40% and an appraised loan-to-value of roughly 69%. Eastdil Secured arranged the debt.
