85 Broad St.<\/p><\/div>\n

Noting it received \u201cvery strong interest\u201d from major green investors across the globe, French corporate and investment bank Natixis collaborated with Ivanho\u00e9 Cambridge and Callahan Capital Properties to issue the first green tranche in a CMBS to refinance part of the acquisition loan for 85 Broad St. in Downtown Manhattan. <\/p>\n

The $72 million green-specific tranche was issued as part of the CSAIL 2017-C8 CMBS Securitization to refinance part of the $358.6 million fixed-rate, first mortgage loan provided by Natixis in the spring to purchase the 1.1 million square-foot office tower in the Financial District.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis financing is a great example of how like-minded global players are able to work together to bring new green initiatives to the market, which is right in line with Ivanho\u00e9 Cambridge\u2019s commitment towards sustainability,\u201d<\/em> Nathalie Palladitcheff, executive vice president & CFO at Canadian-based Ivanho\u00e9 Cambridge, said in a prepared statement.<\/p>\n

What started it All<\/h2>\n

Longtime strategic partners Ivanho\u00e9 Cambridge and Callahan Capital Partners acquired the 30-story office tower in late May from a joint venture of MetLife Real Estate and Beacon Capital Partners for approximately $650 million. It was the partners\u2019 first purchase in Downtown Manhattan<\/a>. The former headquarters for Goldman Sachs, the building between South William and Pearl streets is 88 percent occupied with tenants including Oppenheimer & Co., WeWork, Nielsen and Vox Media.<\/p>\n

In January, the property obtained a LEED Platinum Certificate for Existing Buildings: Operation & Maintenance. Natixis said in a prepared statement that it commissioned oekom research AG, one of the world\u2019s leading rating agencies in the field of sustainable investment, for a second party opinion on the green tranche. The firm confirmed the alignment of the 85 Broad Street Loan-Specific Certificates with the Green Bond Principles\u2019 Green Use of Proceeds Securitized Bond\u2019s formal concept.<\/p>\n

Stephen Liberatore, CFA, managing director\/lead portfolio manager-responsible investment fixed income at TIAA Investments pointed to the importance of the oekom research second party opinion and report.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are better positioned to assess and communicate to our own investors the environmental benefits of investing in 85 Broad Street, Platinum LEED certified office building,\u201d<\/em> Liberatore noted in a prepared statement.<\/p>\n

Growing “green” interest<\/h2>\n

Natixis said the transaction extends its green financing strategy to the U.S. commercial real estate securitization market and called it a \u201cfirst step in the CMBS market which will contribute to diversify the green investment opportunities for investors\u201d <\/em>while maintaining the standards the Green Bond Principles are trying to safeguard.<\/p>\n

The bank noted that there was very strong international interest in the green tranche from investors in the United States and overseas, adding that it was oversubscribed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith nearly $20 billion of loans securitized since 1999, Natixis is a proven leader in the CMBS market. Natixis endeavors to bring real assets to investors and is pleased to bring to the CMBS market the opportunity to invest in recognized sustainable investments,\u201d<\/em> Managing Director Benjamin Sirgue, head of Natixis Global Finance Americas, said in prepared remarks.<\/p>\n

While it wasn\u2019t green financing, Natixis also recently provided a $250 million fixed-rate, first mortgage to JEMB Realty to refinance nearby 75 Broad St., a 34-story, 650,000-square-foot office building. JEMB Realty is repositioning the office tower to attract high-tech tenants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
