Rialto Saves Two Buildings

new co-owner  and  $35M in new equity has helped Tishman Speyer recap two of its huge Atlanta office properties that had been placed in special servicing. (To quote Peaches and Herb: "Reunited and it feels so good.")
 
Rialto Capital Management has purchased a majority stake in both Colony Square and Midtown Plaza from Tishman Speyer for an unspecified amount. In turn, special servicer CWCapital allowed for a modification of the underlying first mortgage financing that extends out the maturity date (originally slated for today).
