Sought-after location

Meridian Capital Group Senior Vice President Jacob Schmuckler facilitated the acquisition financing. One Wall Partners was represented in-house, while HFF Senior Managing Director Jose Cruz, Senior Director Michael Oliver, Managing Director Kevin O’Hearn, Senior Director Stephen Simonelli and Associate Mark Mahasky acted on behalf of the seller.
