JLL’s Capital Markets group arranged a $430 million refinancing for Fairmont Austin, a 37-story luxury hotel in downtown Austin.
JLL Capital Markets represented Manchester Financial Group in securing the five-year, interest only fixed-rate SASB CMBS loan, with Goldman Sachs acting as a lead manager and sole bookrunner. The all-mortgage financing package was used to replace a $300 million senior loan and $125 million of mezzanine debt.
Fairmont Austin spans 1.4 million square feet, standing proudly as the city’s fifth-tallest building. Developed by Manchester Financial Group, the luxury hotel first opened in 2018 and features 1,048 guestrooms and suites, nearly 140,000 square feet of meeting space, a full-service spa, five curated food and beverage outlets, an outdoor resort-style pool deck on the 7th floor and a grand pedestrian walkway providing direct access to the Austin Convention Center. Located at 101 Red River St., the property is within walking distance to the city’s premier lifestyle and entertainment areas including Rainey Street, East Austin and two blocks from Lady Bird Lake.
The JLL Capital Markets Debt Advisory team was led by Senior Managing Director Tim Wright, Senior Managing Director Aldon Cole and Director Olga Walsh.
