NEW YORK CITY — New York-based Extell Development Co. has received $530 million in financing for the development of Brooklyn Point, a 68-story residential condo tower under construction in Brooklyn. The property is located within City Point, a development featuring 600,000 square feet of dining and retail.
The financing consists of a $425 million senior construction loan, led by M&T Bank, and a $105 million mezzanine loan from New York-based RXR Realty.
Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox, the building will offer studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom units for sale. The property will feature 40,000 square feet of amenities, including rooftop and indoor pools, a fitness center, cocktail lounge, chef’s demonstration kitchen, game room, rock climbing wall, children’s playroom and screening/performance room. The ninth floor will offer a landscaped terrace with a putting green, fire pit and bar.
“We were overwhelmed with interest in the building as soon as we opened the doors to our sales gallery,” says Ari Alowan Goldstein, senior vice president at Extell Development Co. “Our strong sales velocity is an indicator of pent-up demand for high-quality ownership opportunities in this extremely desirable neighborhood.”
Pricing for studio to three-bedroom residences will start at $850,000. Purchasers will benefit from a 25-year tax abatement.
Construction of Brooklyn Point recently reached the 26th floor. Completion is scheduled for 2020.
