This unique 13-story property, located at 344-348 West 38^th St., houses 23 commercial tenants and has several stories of residential co-op units. The elegant prewar building is conveniently located near midtown, where tenants enjoy close proximity to all subway lines, Bryant Park and Times Sq.

“We had numerous hurdles to overcome due to the unique tenancy and structure of this asset and it took us about a year to complete this deal,” said Hammer. “In the end it was well worth the hard work, because a fixed rate of 3.16% for a commercial property like this is far superior to the market.”
