PARSIPPANY — Prism Capital Partners has secured a new mortgage loan for 399 Jefferson Road. The initiative marks yet another chapter in the property’s success story; Prism in 2003 initially acquired the Class A asset as its first investment.
“The time was right to refinance, and we saw aggressive interest from the financial markets for this high-quality property,” said Prism’s Eugene Diaz, principal partner.
399 Jefferson serves as the headquarters of EBI, LLC, a subsidiary of medical device and implant manufacturer Biomet Spine & Bone Healing Technologies, which occupies 102,000 square feet.
Long-term tenant Pinnacle Foods was recently acquired by Conagra Brands and has relocated out of state. The building now offers the opportunity for a highly improved, state-of-the-art tech office space of approximately 104,000 square feet.
From the outset, Prism recognized the inherent value of this well-located, single-story granite and glass office building. When its single tenant announced plans to leave the property at the end of its lease, Prism sold the property, achieving a significant profit. That user never took occupancy, and in 2010, Prism re-acquired it as a vacant asset – at a highly opportunistic price. After adding tremendous value at 399 Jefferson through the lease-up and expansion, Prism in 2014 orchestrated a recapitalization, bringing in an investment partner and remaining operating partner for this flagship property.
