A joint venture partnership between Rubenstein Partners and Vision Real Estate Partners, secured an $80 million refinancing of LATITUDE, a 35-acre, two-building trophy office campus in Parsippany, NJ.

The new loan, provided by Oak Funding and OakNorth Bank, retired the existing debt on LATITUDE and provides new capital to support the joint venture’s continuing business strategy for the Class-A property, which has enjoyed robust leasing activity.

“The successful refinancing of LATITUDE reflects both the strength of the asset and the continued demand for high-quality, amenitized office environments in well-located suburban markets,” said Jack Sula at Rubenstein Partners. “This financing allows us to pay off the previous loan while positioning LATITUDE for its next phase of growth as we continue to execute our long-term plan for the campus and deliver an exceptional workplace experience for our tenants.”
