WASHINGTON, D.C. — Mesa West Capital has provided Brookfield Real Estate Opportunity Fund I with a $95.5 million first mortgage loan on 64 New York Ave. NE, a 355,000-square-foot office building in Washington, D.C. Built in 1924 as a warehouse, the building was converted into a Class A office building in 2000. The building is 45 percent occupied by the District of Columbia, which recently signed a new long-term lease. The loan proceeds were used to refinance the existing debt as well as provide for capital costs associated with recent upgrades to the property. Raphael Fishbach of Mesa West originated the financing.
