Meridian Capital Group, LLC negotiated $28 million in financing for a recently modernized office building in the Flushing section on behalf of Pi Capital Partners LLC. The five-year loan, provided by a local bank, features a rate of 3.75%. Meridian managing director, Cary Pollack negotiated the deal. The 12-story office building, located at 136-21 Roosevelt Ave., totals 60,000 s/f and features 8,600 s/f of ground floor retail space. The property's interior recently was renovated and the building is currently one of the tallest modernized office buildings in Flushing. "By leveraging Meridian's deep and longstanding relationship with an experienced local lender who is fully familiar with Queens, and by properly articulating the quality of the property and the experience of Pi Capital Partners as the sponsor, we were able to structure a very competitive five-year, fixed-rate loan at a favorable interest rate to reduce the borrowers' debt service costs," said Pollack.
