Ariel Property Advisors arranges
loans for six NYC properties

Carroll Gardens - Brooklyn, NY

Brooklyn, NY The Capital Services Group for Ariel Property Advisors (Ariel) arranged construction, refinancing and acquisition loans totaling over $17 million for six properties in Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Matthew Dzbanek and Matt Swerdlow, both senior directors in Ariel Property Advisors’ Capital Services Group, arranged the loans.

“We’re seeing more lenders returning to the New York market and in the last few weeks secured financing for three residential construction projects in Brooklyn — two condo and one rental development — that in some cases attracted over 15 quotes,” Dzbanek said. “Lenders are viewing these developments positively because they reason the projects will be delivered into a strong market short on housing.”

The six loans included:

• A $4.4 million construction loan for a townhouse conversion in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. The loan featured a rate of SOFR + 6.5%, 24-month term with two six-month extensions, interest only, non-recourse, no prepayment penalty and 70% LTV.
