Manhattan, NY Victory Capital has arranged financing totaling $15.18 million for five properties, according to Michael Bivona, executive managing director.

Bivona negotiated a $5 million construction loan with a rate of 6.75% that will be used to renovate a 24-unit, five-story walk-up building located on East 77th St. between 1st and 2nd Aves. on the Upper East Side. This transaction was arranged with a regional bank in less than 30 days.  

“We were able to customize a loan solution with extremely favorable terms for this multifamily property and close it in just a few weeks, which was imperative for the client,” Bivona said. “The sponsor plans to redevelop the property to create a 3,000 s/f luxury duplex apartment on the first floor and lower level of the building with a private entrance and backyard. Additionally, the majority of the remaining apartments located on floors two through five will be gut renovated along with the common areas of the building.”
