NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–H.I.G. Capital (“H.I.G.”), a leading global alternative investment firm with $44 billion of equity capital under management, is pleased to announce that its affiliate, H.I.G. Realty Partners, has originated a loan to finance the lease-up of 114 Pacifica (the “Property”), a 110,000 square foot Class A medical-office building located in Irvine, California. The project is currently undergoing interior and exterior renovations, and a new multi-level parking garage is being constructed on-site.
The loan was made to Harrison Street (the “Sponsor”), a leading investment management firm exclusively focused on alternative real assets. Harrison Street acquired the Property in September 2020, which was previously a multi-tenant traditional office building, with the intention of renovating and re-leasing to medical users.
“We are excited to finance a unique asset in the infill market of Irvine, CA surrounded by some of Orange County’s major hospital systems,” said Michael Mestel, Managing Director at H.I.G. Realty Partners. He added, “Given the Sponsor’s track record in the medical-office space, we are confident the Sponsor will transform the Property and attract top-tier medical-office tenants to this location.”
