Grosvenor Fund Management has completed the refinancing of Grosvenor Liverpool Fund, which owns the 223,000 m2 Liverpool One shopping centre.

The bank debt for the Fund has been refinanced with a £410 mln (€563 mln) facility on a seven-year term with a club of banks comprising BNP Paribas, Crédit Agricole CIB, The Royal Bank of Scotland, Societe Generale and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation.

The terms represent a significant improvement compared to the previous 2010 facility, Grosvenor said in a statement.

'This is an exciting milestone for the Fund and follows a strong 12 months that saw investors committing to the modernisation of the Fund earlier in the year. These combined activities have provided us with a stable platform from which to implement a long-term asset management strategy for Liverpool One and reflects Grosvenor Fund Management’s ongoing commitment to Liverpool,' said CEO James Raynor.
