The firm\u2019s debt and structured finance team also arranged $77.5 million in acquisition financing with SunTrust Bank for the joint venture buyer.<\/p>\n<p>NAI\/Merin Hunter Codman will take over property management and leasing for the property. Currently, the building is 91 percent occupied, including serving as the new U.S. headquarters for KEMET Corp. Others in the building\u2019s roster include Becker &amp; Poliakoff, Quintairos, Prieto, Wood &amp; Boyer, P.A., McGlinchey Stafford and Hinshaw &amp; Culbertson LLP.<\/p>\n<p>The property&#8217;s two 19- and 5-story buildings are connected by a covered sky bridge to a four-story parking structure, which provides 772 covered spaces.<\/p>\n<p>The office tower is situated on the busy corner of Broward Boulevard and Andrews Avenue, right in the heart of Fort Lauderdale\u2019s expanding downtown.<\/p>\n<h2>The rise of Fort Lauderdale<\/h2>\n<p>According to Paul, the Fort Lauderdale market has enjoyed tremendous growth in recent years and the company sees a lot of potential for increased value over the next several years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe location is outstanding.
