Owners of one of Vancouver's most prominent office complexes have successfully secured refinancing for a nearly half-billion-dollar loan tied to their downtown property.
Real estate investment trust Hudson Pacific Properties Inc. (NYSE: HPP) revealed Thursday that it’s refinanced a $455 million loan for Bentall Centre, the 1.5 million-square-foot office property Hudson Pacific co-owns with lender Blackstone Inc.
"Hudson Pacific now has no debt maturities until December 2024, as we continue to take a strategic and multifaceted approach to fortifying our company’s balance sheet,” Hudson Pacific’s chief financial officer Harout Diramerian said in a release.
He said the refinancing “underscores the quality of the asset and the associated strong operating performance.”
Hudson Pacific and Blackstone acquired Bentall Centre in 2019, a move that introduced the Los Angeles-based REIT to the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»market.
Since then, Blackstone and Hudson Pacific have made “significant” capital investments in Bentall Centre, according to the release.
“These include asset modernization, the addition or redesign of tenant-specific amenities, as well as the curation of publicly accessible outdoor plazas to incorporate an array of events, pop-up retailers and art exhibits,” said the release, adding
Bentall Centre has retained a 90 per cent lease rate across its four Class A office towers.
