Collins refinances Stamford property
Real Estate Weekly, June 27, 2001
Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Mortgage has provided a $12.8 million, first mortgage for Collins Enterprises' 2777 Summer Street property. The 110,000 SF Stamford, Conn., office building is 96% leased to a diverse tenant base and was acquired by Collins in December 1999 for $12.5 million.
"We had several financial incentives to close the MSDW financing before year-end," reported Michael J. Marcante, Executive Vice President for Collins. "The proceeds from the refinancing were used to repay the property acquisition loan, fund leasing costs and return approximately 55% of the original capital contributed by the partners."
