Three properties in San Mateo, Calif. have received $132.9 million in financing. An HFF team worked on behalf of the borrower, an affiliate of Stockbridge Capital Group and developer Wilson Meany. TH Real Estate provided the fixed-rate loan, which will be used to retire previous construction financing. According to Yardi Matrix, two of the properties received an $88 million loan from HSBC Bank in 2015, while the third benefited from a $13 million loan provided by U.S. Bank in 2013.
Wilson Meany and Stockbridge Capital partnered to build homes within the Bay Meadows master-planned community, located on the site of the former Bay Meadows Racetrack, which operated between 1934 and 2008. Now, the 18-acre site is being redeveloped into parks, 1,100 residential units, about 40,000 square feet of retail, a new school and almost one million square feet of office space.
