HFF has arranged an $85 million construction loan for TripAdvisor’s new corporate headquarters in Needham.
HFF worked on behalf of the borrower, a joint venture of Normandy Real Estate Partners and Greenfield Partners, to secure the floating-rate loan. The lender group was led by RBS Citizens and also included People’s United Bank.
Due for completion in 2015, TripAdvisor’s six-story, 280,000-square-foot headquarters will consist of a custom-built, LEED Certified Gold office building with an employee cafeteria, fitness center and meeting areas, along with an 1,100-space parking garage. The property is situated on 4.7 acres along First Avenue in the larger Center 128 mixed-use development.
