NEW YORK CITY — HFF has arranged $12.5 million in refinancing for 135 Bowery, a boutique creative office building in Manhattan’s Midtown South technology corridor. The borrower is a joint venture between Caspi Development and RWN Real Estate Partners. Steven Klein and Alex Staikos of HFF secured the five-year, fixed-rate loan through BBVA Compass Bank. Loan proceeds were used to refinance a construction loan on the property. Originally built in 1900 and redeveloped in 2016, the eight-story, 21,308-square-foot building features a ground-floor retail space occupied by a high-end restaurant, and full-floor loft office units above. The office spaces feature collaborative open floor plates, 10-foot ceilings, reclaimed wood details, custom kitchenettes, conference rooms and two suites that offer private terraces with city views. The property is fully occupied by tenants, including lola/VFX, Bullish, Tradewind, breather, Martin Lui & Associates, Minds+Assembly and RTS Ventures.
