NorthMarq arranges $28.5 million refinance of Champions Forest Plaza in Houston, Texas
HOUSTON, TEXAS (February 21, 2020) – Matthew Franke, senior vice president, Ray Driver, managing director and Michael Borden, analyst in NorthMarq’s Houston office arranged the $28.5 million refinance of Champions Forest Plaza. The 187,000 sq. ft. retail property is located at 5466 FM 1960 West in Houston, Texas. NorthMarq arranged financing for the borrower, Smithco, through its relationship with OneAmerica.

The current owner/borrower has continuously owned the property since its initial development in the late 1960s. The property was 92 percent occupied at time of closing. Anchor tenants include The Container Store, Gap, Ann Taylor, Starbucks, Ann Taylor, Jos. A. Bank, Fidelity Investments and more.
