TODAY’S DEALS: Prudential Mortgage Capital Provides $71M for Manhattan Asset

Olympia House

New York—Prudential Mortgage Capital Co. has provided a $71 million loan through its Fannie Mae DUS platform for Olympia House, a 22-story, mixed-use property located in Midtown Manhattan on East 44^th Street across from the U.N. headquarters.

Olympia House was built in 1964 and consists of 240 studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments, 60 of which are rent stabilized. The seven-year full term interest only, fixed-rate loan lets the borrower refinance the property with cash out above the current amount. The borrower was represented by Hybrid Capital.

“The multifamily sector continues to be a strong performer in the market, particularly in New York City. The centralized location of Olympia House combined with the ongoing demand for rental properties makes this an extremely attractive transaction,” says Evan Williams, a director with Prudential Mortgage Capital Company’s New York office. “We are pleased that our partnership with Hybrid Capital helped bring this transaction to a successful close. We look forward to providing many more financings in the future.”
