SouthState Bank originated the five-year loan.

Crescent Real Estate has refinanced 200 & 250 Columbine St., a 121,990-square-foot, Class A mixed-use property in Denver. JLL Capital Markets worked on behalf of the borrower to secure the loan for the fully leased property.
SouthState Bank originated the five-year $43.4 million note, according to Yardi Matrix information. The owner purchased the asset in 2021 as part of an $82.8 million portfolio transaction with Western Development Group.
Located at 200 Columbine St., the eight-story building came online in 2015 in Denver’s Cherry Creek North submarket. It is just off East 2nd Avenue and has access to multiple transportation and dining options. Downtown Denver is less than 4 miles northwest.
