Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced today that it has secured $109 million in acquisition financing through CCRE for a retail portfolio totaling 61 triple net leased properties throughout the eastern U.S. and Northern California for Pontus Capital.

HFF worked on behalf of the borrower, Pontus Capital, to secure the floating-rate loan, which will enable Pontus to execute their business plan for the portfolio.

The 98-percent-leased portfolio consists of 19 national and regional credit tenants, including leading financial institutions such as BB&T, Regions Bank, SunTrust Bank, Wells Fargo Bank, Bank of America and Fifth Third Bank. Twenty-seven of the branches are located in Florida, eight each in California and North Carolina, seven in Georgia, four each in South Carolina and Virginia, two in New Jersey and one in Arkansas.

HFF’s debt placement team was led by director Jordan Angel, who worked closely with CCRE and Pontus Capital on this transaction.

“This deal closed at a time when the secondary market for floating rate loans became very illiquid,” Angel said. “Pontus’s reputation as a top operator in the net lease space along with HFF’s capital relationships helped to get this deal financed.”
