In one of the largest individual residential asset sales in New York in a decade, the joint venture purchased the mid-rise properties from the Caiola family. The buildings were managed by B&amp;L Management Co., which specializes in developing and managing multi-family buildings in New York City. The firm was founded by the late Benny Caiola in 1980 and is now owned by his wife and four children.<\/p>\n<p>It was the first deal Annaly has made with Blackstone, a private equity giant with vast real estate holdings. Annaly said it capitalized on Blackstone\u2019s strong relationship with the institutional commercial real estate origination team that recently joined Annaly from GE Capital Real Estate. Annaly announced in May that Jeffrey Thompson and his team was joining the firm to expand its commercial real estate group and institutional origination platform. Thompson now serves as co-head of Annaly\u2019s commercial real estate platform along with Annaly executives Michael Quinn and Robert Restrick.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis transaction is another example of the progress we are making in growing our commercial real estate business through high quality institutional relationships,\u201d Kevin Keyes, president &amp; incoming CEO of Annaly, said in a prepared statement. \u201cWe will continue to utilize our balance sheet as a strategic advantage as we built out our commercial real estate platform.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile this is our first commercial transaction with Annaly, we look forward to growing the relationship based on the quality of execution,\u201d Michael Lascher, a managing director in the Real Estate group and the Global Head of Real Estate Debt Capital Markets of Blackstone, added in a prepared statement.<\/p>\n<p>The Commercial Observer reported Meridian Capital Group Senior Managing Director Drew Anderman arranged the five-year loan, noting it has a Libor-based floating rate and interest-only payments. The report was confirmed to the publication by Will Blodgett, a principal at Fairstead, which is a real estate investment and management firm specializing in New York City multi-family properties.<\/p>\n<p>The new owners plan to upgrade the portfolio by making improvements to the common areas, adding new amenities and renovating apartments, which were built in the 1970s and 1980s. The largest building in the portfolio contains 200 units and is located at 250 W. 19<sup>th<\/sup> St., according to a Bloomberg report.<\/p>\n<p>Wilkie Farr &amp; Gallagher L.L.P. represented B&amp;L Management Co. in the transaction. The deal was handled by partners Gordon Caplan and David Drewes and associates Justin Elliott and Jacob Moss.<\/p>\n<p>Vacancy levels in New York City apartment buildings are at historic levels with nearly non-existent availability in all five boroughs, according to Marcus &amp; Millichap\u2019s New York Apartment Research Report for the Third Quarter, 2015. The report noted the demand has spurred multi-family development with completion dates scheduled through 2018 and has also seen investors taking advantage of the low interest rates to buy and current owners to refinance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Will a new institutional purchase offer opportunity for growth?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":952,"featured_media":1004127826,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21808,21783,11,21742,10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004127820","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-investment","category-midatlantic","category-latest","category-northeast"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
