Meridian Capital Group, LLC has negotiated a $65 million mortgage for the refinancing of a commercial condominium located on Fulton St. on behalf of United American Land, LLC. The seven-year loan features a competitive fixed-rate of 4.12%, five years of interest-only payments and 25-year amortization thereafter. This transaction was negotiated by Meridian managing director, Cary Pollack, who is based in the company's N.Y.C. headquarters.

"United American Land is a principal force in the revitalization of the historic Fulton Mall and is at the forefront of transforming the Downtown Brooklyn neighborhood. It was a pleasure to be part of this significant project," said Pollack.
