SL Green Closes $900M Refinancing for 1.8 MSF Office<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>New York City\u2019s largest office landlord has refinanced its 1.8 million-square-foot office building at 1515 Broadway to the tune of $900 million.

The new loan,\u00a0 featuring a fixed rate of 3.93 percent, allowed SL Green to replace the previous loan and gave the REIT a little extra pocket change\u2013$116 million in net proceeds, to be exact. The 54-story tower in Times Square has been part of the SL Green portfolio since 2002, when the company joined forces with Canada\u2019s SITQ Immobilier to purchase the asset for $480 million. The partners later submitted the property to a $40 million repositioning program.<\/p>\n
