Cronheim Mortgage has secured $9.6M to refinance a 52,500 square foot retail property in Paterson, New Jersey. Andrew Stewart and Allison Villamagna placed the 7-year loan with a community bank. It features a 3-year option, a 25-year amortization period, and an attractive stepdown prepayment structure.
The subject property is located at 261-263 McLean Boulevard, Paterson, NJ and is 100% leased to two tenants: Pep Boys Auto, a national automotive retailer, and Microcenter, a New Jersey-based consumer electronics company. The Subject benefits from its location within a New Jersey Urban Enterprise Zone, which allows tenants to charge a favorable sales tax rate of 3.5%, versus New Jersey’s standard rate of 6.625%. The reduced sales tax rate has proven to have a substantial impact on consumer behavior and both stores have performed exceptionally well.
Within Paterson, NJ, the property is optimally positioned along Route 20, which realizes traffic volumes upwards of 76,000 vehicles per day. Additionally, the subject is located less than a half mile from Interstate 80, one of New Jersey’s most frequently traveled thoroughfares, with traffic volumes upwards of 130,000 vehicles per day. The visibility and easy access provided by these roadways help keep the subject property front-of-mind for not only the local consumer but also the regional commuter, leading to strong long-term outcomes for its tenants.
