Cheektowaga, NY Largo Real Estate Advisors has closed a $3.85 million permanent first mortgage on a newly constructed, high-visibility retail center.

The lender utilizes Largo as its market correspondent for Upstate New York transactions.

The 16,016 s/f center was fully pre-leased, reflecting continued tenant demand for well-located retail assets in the greater Buffalo market.
