Natixis Corporate & Investment Banking provides $162.5 million financing to refinance Philadelphia’s iconic 1600 Market Street
Natixis Corporate & Investment Banking originated a $162.5 million, five-year floating-rate financing to American Real Estate Partners (AREP) to refinance 1600 Market Street, an iconic, 39-story class-A office tower located in the heart of Philadelphia’s thriving Central Business District (CBD). The property has been anchored by PNC Bank’s regional headquarters since 1996. Other tenants include a variety of legal, financial and professional service firms.
Since acquiring the property in 2018, AREP has leased over 100,000 square feet of space and completed a $15 million renovation of the Center City office landmark. AREP’s transformation of the 40-year-old, 825,968 SF office building features 8,000 SF of amenities encompassing state-of-the-art collaboration space, conference rooms, wellness and fitness areas, and coffee bar from multi-award-winning local favorite, Elixr
“AREP has repositioned a 1980’s building at 1600 Market, transforming it into a luminous, cutting-edge workplace—a celebration of innovation and invention that also honors Philadelphia’s historic character. We thank Natixis for their support of the project,” said Doug Fleit, CEO of AREP.
The financing was arranged by Ryan Ade of JLL and Cary Abod of Abod Capital.
