Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced today that it has arranged debt and equity financing for 100 Peachtree, an iconic, 33-story, Class A office tower totaling 622,084 square feet in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. The property is being acquired by a joint venture of Zeller Realty Group and Partners Group, the global private markets investment manager, on behalf of its clients.
HFF worked on behalf of the borrowers to secure the floating-rate acquisition loan through an affiliate of Heitman LLC.
Designed by world-renowned architectural firm, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, 100 Peachtree is 80 percent leased to 37 tenants, including Georgia’s Own Credit Union. The property is situated in the heart of Atlanta’s central business district in the Fairlie-Poplar District and boasts a Walk Score® of 96 and a Transit Score® of 80 with easy access to nearby restaurants, public transportation and attractions. Atlanta’s central business district is experiencing renewed interest and transformation into a vibrant live-work-play environment led by the growth of Georgia State University, the new Mercedes Benz Stadium, several new residential projects and the planned redevelopment of Underground Atlanta.
The HFF debt placement team representing the borrowers was led by senior managing director Ed Coco and associate Matt Casey.
“Benefiting from an urban, walkable, transit-oriented location, Zeller Realty’s vision for 100 Peachtree will employ previously successful strategies to create energy at the property and complement activity already underway in the dynamic downtown submarket,” said Coco. “With the right capital partner and financing in-place, we look forward to additional leasing momentum at 100 Peachtree and Zeller’s contribution to the resurgence of Atlanta’s central business district.”
