Prudential Mortgage Capital Company provides £181.5 million loan to refinance 99 Bishopsgate, London

LONDON--()--Prudential Mortgage Capital Company has closed a £181.5m ($278m) refinancing for 99 Bishopsgate, London. Prudential Mortgage Capital Company, which does business in the UK and Europe as Pricoa Mortgage Capital, is the commercial mortgage lending business of Prudential Financial Inc. (NYSE:PRU).

The 10-year, fixed rate loan is secured by the 340,000 square-foot, 26 story prime tower building in the City of London and was completed over the summer. The property is 100 percent let to a diverse mix of tenants from the legal, financial services, and professional services sectors.

“99 Bishopsgate is a recognizable feature of London’s skyline and one of the city’s most iconic buildings, popular with both local and international occupiers. Being a long term holder of our own debt, Prudential Mortgage Capital Company was able to offer a structure that matched the client’s asset management requirements whilst locking in long term interest rates,” said Aaron Knight, director of European originations at Prudential Mortgage Capital Company.

This is the latest transaction following on from the £270m Watermark Place, the £155m Access Self Storage and the £130m GCP Student Living loans completed by Prudential Mortgage Capital Company over the summer, reflecting an increased borrower appetite in Europe for long-term, fixed-rate senior debt.

Bryan McDonnell, head of European originations for Prudential Mortgage Capital commented, “As an organization, we continue to expand our global presence by supporting both domestic and international clients.”
