Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp. and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Limited provided the three-year syndicated loan. JLL Capital Markets worked on behalf of the borrower.
The note retires a $161.2 million acquisition loan originated by Wells Fargo Bank in 2016, according to CommercialEdge data. The owner purchased the asset the same year for $260.2 million from JBG Cos., the same source shows.

The JLL Capital Markets Debt Advisory team included Managing Director Rob Carey, Director Owen Claypool, along with Associate Emma Buch and Analyst Patrick Wu.
The LEED Platinum-certified facility at 9609 Medical Center Drive within the Shady Grove Life Sciences Center and next to Johns Hopkins University – Montgomery County Campus. Downtown Washington, D.C., is within 21 miles, while Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport is 40.5 miles northeast. The building is also some 23 miles from The McMillan Center for Health & Research, a nearly 1 million-square-foot life science project.
