Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. has arranged $308.4 million in financing for three shopping malls totaling 2.3 million square feet in Connecticut, Illinois and Washington.
HFF worked on behalf of a newly-formed joint venture partnership between Centennial Real Estate Company, Montgomery Street Partners/Blum Capital, USAA Real Estate Company and Westfield America to place three separate five-year loans totaling $308.4 million with a lender group led by J.P.
