The plaza is 100% occupied and maintains excellent visibility with immediate access to Interstate 490. * The second transaction was an Orville's Home Appliance Store located in a suburb of Buffalo. The store was recently built and opened summer 2013. Both of these transactions were structured as 15 year fixed rate self-liquidating loans. * The purpose of the third transaction was to refinance the existing construction debt of a 14,673 s/f single tenant Rite Aid in Central New York.
