Working on behalf of the borrower, LLJ Ventures, HFF placed the three-year, floating-rate loan with two one-year extensions with Blue Vista Finance LLC. Loan proceeds will be used to pay off the hotel's existing loan and to fund additional strategic capital improvements.

The hotel features more than 19,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, a 24-hour business center, fitness center, indoor and outdoor heated pools, the recently opened The Craft Room restaurant and the Sheraton Club. Located at 375 South Moorland Road, Sheraton Milwaukee Brookfield Hotel is just off Interstate 94 and adjacent to the Brookfield Square Mall and Westmoor Country Club. The hotel provides easy access to a variety of demand drivers, including Miller Park, the Harley Davidson Museum, Milwaukee County Zoo, Midwest Airlines Center and numerous breweries throughout the Milwaukee metropolitan area.
