DENVER, Feb. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ProLogis , the leading global provider of distribution facilities, announced today that it has closed a $189 million loan for ProLogis North American Industrial Fund (PNAIF). In exchange for additional property collateral, the interest-only loan refinanced an existing loan that was scheduled to mature in 2017. The new loan matures in 2020, and the interest rate was reduced from 6.22 percent to a weighted average rate of 5.075 percent over the term of the new loan.
"This transaction demonstrates how ProLogis, on behalf of our funds, is able to work together with our relationship lenders to find solutions that meet the goals of all stakeholders," said Phillip D. Joseph, Jr., senior vice president and treasurer. "By adding collateral, we were able to de-risk both the loan and PNAIF's debt maturity profile, while realizing significant interest savings for the fund."
