NEW YORK CITY — Capital One has completed the syndication of a $180 million senior loan for an office-to-multifamily conversion in Lower Manhattan. The borrowers, VANBARTON GROUP and Metro Loft Management, plan to convert the 508,000-square-foot tower at 180 Water St. into multifamily apartments. The redeveloped property will feature 360,000 square feet of residential space and 10,000 square feet of street-level retail space. Additionally, the redevelopment plans include increasing the property’s height to 29 stories. Redevelopment is slated to begin in July, with all residential units scheduled for delivery by the beginning of 2017. Capital One provided the $180 million first mortgage, while Brookfield Asset Management supplied $60 million in mezzanine financing. Participating lenders in the syndication include the CIT Group and Santander Bank, a joint lead arranger.
