FoxRock Properties has secured a $27 million refinancing for One Heritage Drive, a 172,849-square-foot office building in Quincy, Mass.

Boston’s office market on healthy track
JLL Senior Director Jonathan Schneider led the Capital Markets team that represented the borrower. In prepared remarks he stated that multiple lenders offered financing options in the process due to strong metrics. Schneider has recently worked on behalf of FoxRock Properties to secure refinancing for a property in West Palm Beach, Fla.
