CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Barings, one of the world’s largest diversified real estate investment managers, announced today that it has provided a $51.4 million loan to a partnership of Third & Urban and TPG Angelo Gordon to refinance the existing loan on Lower Tuck (“the Properties”) in Charlotte, North Carolina.

  • 929 Jay Street: An 84,919 sq. ft. creative office building with timber ceilings 19-foot windows, and ample outdoor/patio space.
  • 1018 Jay Street: Offers 69,774 sq. ft. of office and retail space, with steel truss and timber ceilings, skylights, and an open-air courtyard.
