HUDSON REALTY CAPITAL FUNDS $17M LOAN IN BROOKLYN

NEW YORK CITY — Hudson Realty Capital LLC has funded a $17 million first mortgage loan secured by a three-story, vacant industrial loft building in the DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) section of Brooklyn. In addition to utilizing loan proceeds to acquire the 81,805-square-foot building and establish reserves, the undisclosed borrower has also secured a $2.5 million upsize option from Hudson, contingent upon obtaining certain NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission approvals. The borrower plans to convert and reposition the former factory, built in 1913, for multifamily use. The borrower is seeking landmark approvals to alter the façade and add additional floors. Located on Water Street, between Jay Street and Bridge, the building is situated within the historic Brooklyn waterfront district.
