Bjornsund of NorthMarq arranges $9.675 million mortgage for 70 Broad Street - Nine-year term loan placed through a life insurance company for the 18,258 s/f property

Craig Bjornsund, senior vice president and managing director of NorthMarq's New York City Metro Regional office, arranged first mortgage refinancing of $9.675 million for 70 Broad St., a 18,258 s/f mixed-use partially owner-occupied property in the city. The major tenant at the site is Winta Holdings. Financing was based on a nine-year term and a 25-year amortization schedule and was arranged for the borrower, 70 Broad LLC, by NorthMarq through its relationship with a correspondent life insurance company. "The lender was able to underwrite what at first appeared to be a high loan per s/f on a mixed-use, partially owner-occupied property due to the strong ownership, beautifully renovated improvements and of course excellent location," said Bjornsund.
