New York, NY Cushman & Wakefield served as the exclusive advisor to Lonicera Partners in the procurement of $134 million in construction financing for 15 Hanover Place, a mixed-income multifamily development in Brooklyn. The loan was provided by Santander and City National Bank.

A Cushman & Wakefield equity, debt & structured finance team of Gideon Gil, Zachary Kraft and Sebastian Sanchez represented the borrower in the transaction.

Upon completion, 15 Hanover Place will be a 34-story tower totaling 295,000 s/f. The asset will feature 314 apartments, including 95 affordable units and over 9,000 s/f of commercial space.

The property is located within walking distance to a variety of retail, dining and entertainment options including the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Barclays Center, Fulton Mall and Dekalb Market at City Point. The asset is transit-oriented with nearby subway options including the B, Q and R trains at Dekalb Ave.Station and the A, C and G trains at Hoyt-Schermerhorn Station.
