Pembrook Capital closes $24.8 million bridge loan

Pembrook Capital Management, LLC has closed a $24.8 million bridge loan to fund the acquisition by McSam Hotel Group of a development site. Located on West 37th St. between Eighth and Ninth Aves., the current parking lots will be developed into a hotel. The site is situated in what is considered to be one of the area's hottest growth areas, in close proximity to Hudson Yards and the Javits Center, and will benefit from ongoing transportation improvements that are transforming the neighborhood. "In recent months we have responded to the increasing demand for first mortgage bridge financing, both here in New York and in other U.S. markets," said Stuart Boesky, CEO of Pembrook. "Experienced sponsors are in the market acquiring development sites and looking for debt financing. With this site in particular, we are financing a well-located parcel for a group that has a lengthy track record of development projects in New York." Pembrook works with real estate developers and investors to deliver financing for new construction, acquisition, and repositioning, focusing on primary and secondary markets with high barriers to entry. Since inception, Pembrook has originated or participated in over 65 investments totaling in excess of $700 million.
