Essex Crossing, New York City

Acting on behalf of Delancey Street Associates, a joint venture of Taconic Investment Partners, L+M Development Partners, BFC Partners and Goldman Sachs Urban Investment Group, HFF has arranged a $260 million construction loan for 202 Broome Street, a roughly 340,000-square-foot mixed-use project in Manhattan.

The advisory team secured the 42-month loan through Square Mile Capital Management. The building will rise on the Lower East Side within Delancey Street’s $1.3 billion Essex Crossing, a 1.9 million-square-foot mixed-use project deemed one of the most significant urban renewal developments to ever take shape in Manhattan.

The 16-story building will encompass 83 luxury residential condominiums, approximately 179,200 square feet of office space and nearly 36,900 square feet of retail offerings, including a portion of the Market Line marketplace. With financing in place, Delancey Street is on track to complete development of 202 Broome in 2020.

Hefty financings

HFF has orchestrated more than a few $100-million-plus financing transactions this year. Additional transactions in the month of April alone include a $132.9 million fixed-rate loan for a three-property apartment portfolio in San Mateo, Calif., and $145 million in construction financing for the renovation and expansion of a 171,000-square-foot office building in San Francisco. In March, the firm announced that it had arranged a loan package totaling $384.9 million for the refinancing of a two-tower office and life science complex totaling 717,000 square feet in South San Francisco.

The firm was ranked by the Mortgage Bankers Association as the number one commercial/multifamily mortgage originator in 2017. MBA also recognized the company as the top originator for third parties by dollar volume, the top intermediary and originator for life insurance companies.
