The Frankfurt-based lender, which was competing with Credit Suisse Group AG, JPMorgan Chase and Co. and Citigroup Inc. to underwrite the deal, plans to package the debt into about $1.5 billion of commercial-mortgage bonds, according to people with knowledge of the negotiations. The transaction will mark the second time in less than two years that Kyo-ya Hotels & Resorts has turned to the market to refinance, the article states.
