Eastern Union Finances More Than $53M For Commercial Properties In NY And FL

Eastern Union Funding arranged financing totaling $53,745,000 for four commercial properties in New York and Florida, according to a press release.
Eastern Union managing partner Abraham Bergman and vice president Yossi Orzel arranged the transaction, first a $28 million construction loan for a 159-unit condominium project, then a $5 million in financing for a 26-unit, fractured condominium property that is coming out of construction. Both projects will develop in Monroe, New York, and carry a 75% loan-to-value ratio. The second transaction has a 12-year fixed-term mortgage with 5 years of interest-only payments, set at a 4% interest rate.
"Negotiating the right deal for a fractured condo transaction poses special challenges because many lenders simply don't engage with this particular asset class. Nonetheless, Eastern Union succeeded in securing a loan that catered to the borrower's specific needs." said Orzel.
A third transaction dedicated $11 million in financing for a mixed-use property in Brooklyn, New York. The deal carried a fixed 3.2% interest rate over a ten-year period, with interest-only payments due for the first five years.
The last transaction was a 10-year fixed value loan at $9,745,000 to support a 160-unit, Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) property in Immokalee, Florida.
