NEW YORK CITY — Meridian Capital Group has arranged a $104 million loan for the acquisition of The Hamilton, a 265-unit multifamily property on the Upper East Side of New York City. Bonjour Capital purchased the 38-story building, which is located at 1735 York Ave.
A balance sheet lender provided the seven-year loan, which features a fixed rate of 3.6 percent and three years of interest-only payments. Shaya Ackerman and Shaya Sonnenschein of Meridian Capital Group arranged the financing.
“Meridian was able to obtain uniquely favorable terms, including three years of interest-only payments, based on the high quality of the asset and its potential for value-add upside, the strength and reputation of the sponsor and Meridian’s active relationship with the lender,” says Shaya Ackerman, a managing director for Meridian Capital.
Apartments at The Hamilton feature granite kitchen countertops, marble bathrooms and individually controlled air-conditioning in each room.
Building amenities include a 24-hour uniformed doorman, fitness center with locker rooms and saunas, landscaped roof deck, a children’s playroom, furnished lounge with kitchen, billiards lounge, laundry facility, attached garage and a complimentary shuttle bus service.
Residents are also in close proximity to the 4 and 6 subway lines and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Carl Schurz Park, Central Park and the shops along Madison Avenue.
