JLL Capital Markets announced that it has arranged a $165,584,000 refinancing for 365 Bond Street, a 430-unit multi-housing property in the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York.
JLL represented the borrower, Lightstone, a diversified privately held real estate investment firm led by David Lichtenstein, to secure the five-year, fixed-rate loan through Freddie Mac Multifamily. The loan will be serviced by JLL Real Estate Capital, LLC, a Freddie Mac Optigo℠ lender.
365 Bond Street is a 430-unit class-A residential rental property developed by Lightstone in 2016. The property features 40,000 square feet of amenity space and 30,000 square feet of green space. A 2,407-square-foot, ground-floor commercial space is occupied by a coffee shop.
Designed by Goldstein Hill & West Architects and interior architect Mark Zeff, thoughtfully curated design exemplifies both quality and craftsmanship. Enjoy living in a beautifully appointed home with expansive industrial casement style windows, showcasing views of the Gowanus waterfront park, quaint tree-lined streets of Carroll Gardens, and the spectacular Manhattan skyline. The residences at 365 Bond are built for urbanites with an appreciation for design and authenticity.
The JLL Capital Markets team included Managing Directors Peter Rotchford and Michael Shmuely, Director Nicco Lupo, and multi-housing specialists Jeffrey Julien, Rob Hinckley, Steven Rutman, Jonathan Hageman and Hall Oster.
