PHOENIX-U.S. Bank has closed on two loans, totaling more than $31 million, for Artis, a Winnipeg, Canada-based REIT, to acquire two office buildings in the Phoenix area:ASM America Headquarters Building and North Scottsdale Corporate Center II.
“The REIT model continues to expand globally, and Canadian companies are a major player in the space,” saidJohn Besse, EVP of commercial real estate for U.S. Bank. “We’re pleased to expand our relationship with Artis, a highly-respected firm with whom we’ve provided financing to acquire five properties across the country since the start of 2011.”
North Scottsdale Corporate Center II, located at 6811 East Mayo Boulevard in North Scottsdale, was built in 2007 and currently home to Choice Hotels, the second-largest hotelier in the U.S., as well as Axway, Inc. and IPRO Tech Inc.
