Brookfield Asset Management refinanced a four-story Magnificent Mile retail building with an $80 million loan from Metlife.

The Toronto-based firm secured the loan Nov. 7 for the building at 605 North Michigan Avenue that’s anchored by a Sephora and a Chase Bank, according to Cook County property records.

The loan has a fixed interest rate of 4.76 percent, according to Brookfield’s third-quarter report to the SEC.

Chicago-based General Growth Properties bought the River North property in 2016 for $140 million, records show. Brookfield assumed ownership of the building when it acquired GGP in a $15 billion buyout earlier this year.
