Bobby Bakhchi, CEO of Hybrid Capital, a full-service commercial mortgage and advisory firm, arranged a $1.7 million construction loan in connection with a townhouse conversion in Central Park North. Bakhchi said, "Construction financing continues to be plentiful for the right projects with the right sponsorship. Our team was able to efficiently identify a lender and close on the facility within 60 days, allowing our client to execute their strategy ahead of schedule." The 2-year loan was arranged with a local bank at a floating rate in the mid 4% range on behalf of a private investor. Over the past three years, Hybrid has arranged financing for transactions valued in excess of $1.5 billion.
