Grandbridge Real Estate Capital recently closed a $12,100,000 first mortgage loan secured by West Ashley Shoppes, a 136,242-square-foot, anchored retail property in the Charleston, S.C., Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA).

The acquisition loan was originated by Grandbridge Greenville, S.C., office co-managers Bill Mattice and Phillip Cox for a repeat client.

Constructed in 1987, with considerable renovation completed in 2003, the property is in the affluent submarket of West Ashley, S.C., making it convenient to shoppers in the Tri-County area.
