Meridian Capital Group, LLC, a leading national commercial real estate finance and advisory firm, negotiated a $3.3 million mortgage for the refinancing of a mixed-use property located on York Ave. on behalf of Phido Co.

"Given the outstanding location and strong sponsorship, Meridian was able to quickly tailor favorable long-term financing in-line with the borrower's specifications," said Hammer.
