Manhattan, NY According to Jonathan Aghravi of JBA Equities, his team has secured a $135 million financing package for the Mondrian Park Ave. hotel located at 444 Park Ave. South. Aghravi and his team consisting of Charles Han and Eli Terry, along with Tal Bar-or of Lantern Real Estate, represented the borrower, David Moinian of Moin Development.
