Hervey and DesRochers of NorthMarq arrange $15 million for Cinema 123

Robert Hervey, executive vice president and managing director of NorthMarq's Los Angeles regional office, and Ernest DesRochers, senior vice president and managing director of NorthMarq's New York Metro Regional office, cooperated to arrange a first mortgage refinancing of $15 million for Cinema 123 located at 1001-1007 Third Ave. This 15,800 s/f asset is a three-screen theater plus development rights. Financing was based on a one-year interest-only term plus extensions. NorthMarq arranged this financing for the borrower through its relationship with a regional bank. "The borrower had a maturing loan and multiple purchase offers. The bank provided a loan structure that allows the borrower to complete the transaction and sufficient time to secure new financing should the sale fail to close," said Hervey. "Both the borrower and the lender worked very diligently to have the loan close on time."
