Manhattan, NY According to SL Green Realty Corp., it has closed on a new $510 million mortgage financing secured by 220 East 42^nd St. The loan was provided by a lending group led by Aareal Capital Corp., Citi and Credit Agricole. The additional liquidity provided by this financing was used to repay the company’s unsecured revolving credit facility.

“This transaction is another example of the significant liquidity in the NYC market as well as a testament to SL Green’s relationship with the lending community and its continued confidence in our platform,” said SL Green president, Andrew Mathias.
