OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Aug. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- JLL's Capital Markets experts today announced the company secured $221.25 million in acquisition financing on behalf of an affiliate of Group RMC Corporation. The loan will be used to purchase Corporate Woods, a 2.2 million-square-foot office campus consisting of 22 mostly Class A office buildings in Overland Park, Kansas. Institutional lenders provided the 10-year, fixed-rate loan.

Executive Vice President Adam Schwartz, Managing Director Jonathan Schwartz and Executive Vice President Mark Fisher led the JLL team on the financing.

"This was a can't-miss lending opportunity with a competitive bid process," said Adam Schwartz. "Suburban office campuses are providing experienced sponsors a smart place to find yield, and lenders are underwriting that sentiment."

"We are very proud to own Corporate Woods and we look forward to continue growing our suburban office portfolio," said a representative of Group RMC in New York.

Corporate Woods is located at the confluence of I-435 and US-69 and includes 2.17 million square feet of rentable space over 294 acres, making it the largest corporate campus between Chicago and Denver. The campus is currently over 90 percent occupied, with assets ranging from one to 16 stories.
