Private Equity Real Estate Investment Firm, Cohen Asset Management, Inc., and its Affiliates, Complete Two Financings in Phoenix Arizona

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) June 08, 2012

“We are pleased to announce that we executed two new fixed-rate loan loans during the first quarter of 2012 with maturity dates of 7 and 10 years respectively. The new debt was procured at competitive interest rates and obtained on terms that meet the investment objectives of each of the industrial property’s ownership. The lender is a major U.S. life insurance company that has been a lender on previous loans in our portfolio of industrial real estate assets. Both properties are 100% leased with tenants that have been operating at the buildings for many years,” stated Bradley Cohen, President.

“This refinancing is a good example of how Cohen Asset Management is working to maximize the benefits for all of our investors. By locking in historically low long term interest rates we are able to strengthen the financial position of each respective entity, reduce our costs and further enhance the balance sheet of each Affiliate involved in this transaction. This achievement is indicative of our close lender relationships, the high quality of our industrial real estate assets, the benefits of low leverage, creditworthy tenants and the strong interest lenders have in our portfolio,” said Scott McGinness, Chief Financial Officer.
