The deals include: * Three different loans with three different lenders totaling $91.5 million for different office condominiums in the same class A office building.

The six-story, 60-unit cooperative building situated in the Riverdale section of Bronx was refinanced for 15 years with an interest rate fixed at 4% for the entire loan. The loan was $1.7 million.
