Buffalo , New York – November 12, 2013 –  Zach Casale, Account Executive for the Largo Group of Companies, arranged $8MM in permanent financing for three retail properties located across Upstate New York.  All three properties were financed through Largo’s correspondent life insurance companies.

The first transaction included a permanent first mortgage for a retail strip plaza located on East Avenue in Rochester, New York.  The plaza is 100% occupied and maintains excellent visibility with immediate access to Interstate 490.  The second transaction was an Orville’s Home Appliance Store located in a suburb of Buffalo, New York.  The store was recently built and opened summer 2013.  Both of these transactions were structured as 15 year fixed rate self-liquidating loans.

The purpose of the third transaction was to refinance the existing construction debt of a 14,673 square foot single tenant Rite Aid in Central New York.  The non-recourse loan was fixed for 10 years with a 25 year amortization schedule.
