Meridian Capital Group, LLC negotiated a $134.3 million mortgage to refinance a class A office property on behalf of Spitzer Enterprises.

This transaction was negotiated by Meridian managing director, Rael Gervis, who is based in the Company's New York City headquarters. This 13-story office property totals 417,383 s/f and is located at 1615 L St. The property underwent a major capital improvement plan.

"Meridian leveraged its unique and long-standing relationships within the lending community, along with the top quality sponsorship, to negotiate very favorable terms despite the volatile interest rate environment," he added.
