505 State Street
JLL worked on behalf of the borrower, Alloy Development, in arranging the five-year, fixed-rate senior loan through New York Life.

JLL Capital Markets announced that it has secured a $290 million recapitalization financing for 505 State Street, a premier 440-unit residential tower in Downtown Brooklyn, New York, and the first all-electric carbon neutral skyscraper in the city.

Alloy Development was founded by Jared Della Valle and Katherine McConvey in 2006 with the mission to make Brooklyn beautiful, sustainable and equitable. Since its inception, Alloy has developed over $1.1 billion in projects valued at over $1.6 billion. The company has a proven track record of delivering high-quality, luxury buildings that are visually stunning and environmentally responsible. Alloy is also at the forefront of sustainable development in NYC and nationally. In addition to earning numerous LEED certifications, 505 State Street is New York City’s first all-electric residential tower. Alloy utilizes cutting-edge energy-efficient technologies and materials in all its developments, which significantly reduces their carbon footprint and promotes a more sustainable way of living.

Completed in 2024, 505 State Street features 318,589 rentable square feet, comprising 440 apartments and 28,752 square feet of retail space. The residential offerings include studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom units, averaging 659 square feet in size. Each apartment features high-end finishes like custom kitchens with induction cooktops, 9- to 12-foot exposed concrete ceilings, oak wood flooring and floor-to-ceiling windows that provide ample natural light. Instead of gas, all functions—including heating, hot water and cooking—are fully electric. Residents have access to a variety of amenities, including a large fitness center, yoga studio, rooftop pool, communal lounges, a screening room and dedicated workspaces.

505 State Street is located adjacent to the Atlantic Terminal, providing direct access to nine subway lines and the Long Island Rail Road, ensuring exceptional connectivity throughout New York City. The area boasts a wealth of retail options, diverse dining and cultural attractions, all within walking distance, making it a commuter’s paradise. Downtown Brooklyn features a vibrant, educated population with household incomes averaging about $189,500 within a quarter-mile of the property.

JLL Capital Markets Advisory team representing the borrower was led by Senior Managing Director Christopher Peck, Managing Director Peter Rotchford and Director Nicco Lupo.

“505 State Street exemplifies cutting-edge sustainable development, reflecting the Sponsor’s commitment to environmental stewardship in their communities,” Peck stated. “This transaction demonstrates how thoughtful investment can yield both financial rewards and positive societal impact, particularly as sustainability becomes an increasingly crucial factor for lenders.”
