Blackstone Inc. began talks with its lenders about options on a maturing $309.8 million senior loan on a 1.3 million\u2013square\u2013foot office complex in the River North section of Chicago, just across the main branch of the Chicago River from the Loop central business district.<\/p>\n
Blackstone remains current as of its last payment on May 9 on the Class A office complex at 350 N. Orleans St., which, connected by pedestrian bridge to the city\u2019s famed Merchandise Mart, competes with high-premium addresses in its location. But the debt has transferred to special servicing, according to credit-rating firm KBRA.<\/p>\n
Transferring a loan to special servicing signals a kickstart of discussions between a borrower and a lender when loans in bond deals look to be at risk of default. The loan comes due in July.<\/p>\n
