Bellwether Enterprise Real Estate Capital LLC (BWE), a national commercial and multifamily mortgage banking company, announced today the closing of a $6,250,000 loan deal to help finance the acquisition of Shoppes of Brookfield Commons, a shopping center in Brookfield, WI, part of the Milwaukee metropolitan area.

Ryan Morris, Vice President at BWE, originated the loan from Ameritas Investment Partners on behalf of the borrower, CapRock Real Estate.

“Shoppes of Brookfield Commons is an extremely well-located retail center in Milwaukee’s premier retail submarket of Brookfield that was in need of a new, well-capitalized operator to bring new life back into the center. We are proud to partner with CapRock and Ameritas to fully optimize this retail center,” said Morris. “BWE looks forward to working with borrowers and lenders across the country to help bring more projects like this to fruition.”

Shoppes of Brookfield Commons is a two-building, 42,356 square foot retail strip center that is well-located along the primary retail corridor in a submarket that is currently more than 95% leased. At closing, however, the property was only 54% leased. The loan provides the borrower ample time and capital to attract new tenants and lease-up the property to stabilization.

The non-recourse loan has a three-year term, a fixed rate, and $1,000,000 of future funding for capital improvements and accretive leasing.
