The W&D Milwaukee capital markets team led by Dean Huber and Brien Martin arranged the deal on behalf of client Rany Management and lender Prime Finance.
“The property was refinanced because [Rany Management] wanted to have full control over the building,” Huber told the Chicago Business Journal.
About $2M of the financing will be used for upgrades to the property, including a rooftop deck and a ground-floor fitness room. There is no set date for construction to begin.
