NB Development Group has landed a $111.5 million first mortgage financing for 80 Guest Street, its Class A office building in Boston. The 245,720-square-foot property is located within the Boston Landing mixed-use development in the Allston/Brighton neighborhood.

The 10-story office building was built in 2016 and was the second property to be completed within the Boston Landing development. Designed by architecture firm Elkus Manfredi, 80 Guest Street offers open floorplates for office and lab space and is currently 100 percent occupied by tenants including Bose, the Boston Bruins, Roche and Proteostasis.

The building features three levels of parking and 12,000 square feet of ground-floor retail. Additionally, the property houses the 55,000-square-foot Warrior Ice Arena, which serves as the practice facility for Boston’s professional NHL ice hockey team, the Bruins. Located just off the Massachusetts Turnpike, the building offers direct access to the MBTA Boston Landing commuter rail station.

An HFF team including John Fowler, Riaz Cassum, Sam Campbell and Henry Schaffer represented the borrower in the deal and secured the fixed-rate loan through MetLife Investment Management.
