LOS ANGELES, Dec. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- ING Capital LLC
("ING") has closed a $402 million
financing for Paramount Group, Inc. (NYSE: PGRE) ("Paramount") to
fund their acquisition of Market Center, a two- building, 753,000
square foot, Class A office complex located at 555 and 575 Market
Street in San Francisco's
Financial District. ING acted is the Administrative Agent and Sole
Lead Arranger and plans to syndicate the loan in early 2020. The
initial term of the financing will be five years, with two one-year
extension options. The loan closed on December 11, 2019 and was swapped to a fixed rate
for the initial term.
Market Center is prominently located along the Market Street
Corridor and proximate to the Salesforce Transit Center and
Montgomery BART stations. The property's tenant roster comprises a
diverse mix of tenants from the technology, business-services, real
estate and finance sectors.
"ING is excited to expand our relationship with Paramount Group
and to support their acquisition of Market Center. We consider
Paramount to be one of the most experienced owners and operators of
Class A office properties in San
Francisco and look forward to growing this relationship
further," said Jerry Lynch, Director
and Head of West Coast originations for ING. "We are confident that
Paramount can execute their business plan for the asset, given
their extensive experience in this market and the strong demand for
quality office space in San Francisco."

ING's Real Estate Finance team in the U.S. In 2019, the team will
have originated $2.75 billion of new
loan commitments secured by commercial properties in primary
