MORRISTOWN, March 19, 2024 -  JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged the $22 million refinancing of Arundel Plaza, a 282,039-square-foot community shopping center located in Glen Burnie, Maryland.

JLL represented the borrower, United Hampshire U.S. REIT ("UHREIT"), to secure the five-year, fixed-rate loan through a correspondent life company lender.

Built in 1967 and renovated in 2017, the six-building Arundel Plaza is 100% occupied by 15 diverse tenants. The property is anchored by Lowe's, a home improvement and appliance store with 2,181 locations across North America, and Giant Food of Maryland, LLC, a subsidiary of Ahold Finance, LLC (S&P: BBB), an American supermarket chain with 165 stores across Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C. Additional tenants include Jersey Mike's Subs, FedEx, Hook and Reel, Panda Express and Chipotle. Arundel Plaza features an average tenancy of eight years with a weighted average lease expiry of 7.8 years.
