Wells Fargo Multifamily Capital provided $217.5 million in refinancing for the Ashland in Brooklyn, N.Y., a 53-story residential tower owned by the Gotham Org. The lender then securitized the 30-year, fixed-rate loan through Fannie Mae’s multifamily MBS program.
Completed in 2016 and designed by SPAN Architects, the property is a 586-unit mixed-income multifamily building. The 547,000-square-foot tower includes 11,500 square feet of cultural office space and 17,000 square feet of retail, leased to Gotham Market. It encompasses studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, with 282 units set aside for low- and moderate-income households.
