Terranova Brokers $20 Million Loan for Paraiso Parc

MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA – July 5, 2011 – Terranova Capital Corporation has brokered a $20 million loan for power shopping center Paraiso Parc, 15701 & 15729 Pines Boulevard, Pembroke Pines on behalf of its affiliated venture partners.

In this challenging economic environment lender MetLife loaned on a quality asset with top sponsorship. The favorable financing speaks to the strength of the well maintained A+ quality investment property. Paraiso Parc was originally purchased in an all cash deal in 2007.

Paraiso Parc is 99% occupied with long term leases in place and features a national tenant lineup including the “A” player in the grocery category Publix alongside AT&T, SunTrust, and Wells Fargo. The center lies on Pines Boulevard, the major retail corridor in Broward County which links East and West Pembroke Pines. Paraiso Parc is in a dense, high income neighborhood, where the average household income exceeds $137,000 within a 3-mile radius.

Terranova Corporation’s leasing and operating efforts at Paraiso Parc have revealed quality long term tenants and a well preserved center giving the lender the confidence to make the loan.

“If a loan was going to be given this is an asset that a lender would not pass up,” said Terranova Chairman Stephen Bittel. “We look forward to a long relationship with MetLife.”
