March 21, 2017 - Front Section

Brooklyn, NY Meridian Capital Group arranged $19.5 million and $17 million in permanent financing for two flex-office and industrial properties located in the Gowanus neighborhood.

The seven-year and 10-year loans were both provided by a balance sheet lender and were negotiated by Meridian vice president, Shamir Seidman.

The first property, located at 77 19th St., consists of four stories and 188,000 s/f.

The second property, located at 168 7th St. is a three-story, 91,000 s/f building.

The Gowanus neighborhood is located between Carroll Gardens and Park Slope, which are two of the boroughs most sought after neighborhoods. In addition to being a hub for start-up companies and tech innovators, the neighborhood also offers cultural and historical attractions, including Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum and the Brooklyn Public Library. Both properties are close to the Gowanus Expressway and near the F, G, D, N, R and W subway lines.

“Gowanus is historically known as an industrial neighborhood and in recent years has been evolving into a high-demand area for new businesses and innovative technology brands,” said Seidman. “Meridian demonstrated Gowanus’ rapid economic and environmental transformation to lenders and negotiated two separate loan closings with favorable terms only a few days apart, which is a testament to the level of activity in the area.”
