NEW YORK CITY — Eastern Union Funding has arranged a $4.8 million loan for the refinancing of a five-story, mixed-use brownstone in Tribeca. The borrowers are two private owners. Located at 78 Franklin St., the property has undergone a $2 million renovation, which gutted the 2,000-square-foot apartments, upgraded the lobby, hallways and façade, and new stairs, elevator, HVAC and roof. The property’s commercial tenant is Aqua Studio, an underwater cycling studio. David Betesh and Ted Matalon of Eastern Union arranged the financing, which was provided by First American International Bank.
