Long Island
Charles Cotsalas, senior vice president and senior director of NorthMarq Capital's Long Island Regional office, and Ernest DesRochers, senior vice president and managing director of NorthMarq's New York City office, cooperated to arrange a $2.339 million first mortgage financing for the Heatherwood Shopping Center, a 47,000 s/f neighborhood shopping center located at 6090-6136 Jericho Tpke.
Financing was based on a 10-year term with a 25-year amortization schedule and was arranged for the borrower by NorthMarq through its correspondent relationship with Sun Life of Canada.
According to Cotsalas, despite this property being a non-credit anchored retail strip center, it still garnered a 5.40% interest rate. He said, "Even with the lack of institutional credit, Sun Life was comfortable with the property's stable historical performance and property fundamentals."
