Working on behalf of the borrower, 516 Northwestern Associates, L.P., an affiliate of Browning Investments, HFF placed the 25-year fixed-rate loan with John Hancock Life Insurance Company. Loan proceeds were used to retire the construction financing.

The Class A facility, which is located directly across Northwestern Ave from The College of Engineering, is also conveniently located near the Purdue Academic Quad and Purdue’s Mackey Arena and Ross-Ade stadium along one of the most heavily traveled corridors on the Purdue campus.
