JLL Capital Markets arranges $27 million loan to refinance 53 Broadway

Brooklyn, NY JLL Capital Markets has closed on a $27 million loan to refinance 53 Broadway, a 74-unit multi-housing property in the Williamsburg neighborhood.

JLL represented Broadway Brooklyn Acquisition, LLC, securing a five-year, fixed term loan from Cathay Bank, Inc.

Developed in 2013, 53 Broadway offers residents walkable access to shopping, dining, grocery stores, including Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods, and greenspaces, such as Domino Sugar Park and Bushwick Inlet Park.

The JLL Capital Markets team that led the assignment included Steven Klein and Geoff Goldstein.
