Manhattan, NY Meridian Capital Group, one of America’s most active debt brokers, negotiated $130 million in permanent financing to refinance two office properties located in midtown Manhattan on behalf of a New York City-based sponsor. The $130 million, seven-year financing package was provided by a regional balance sheet lender and features an interest rate of 3.88%. This transaction was negotiated by Meridian Capital Group vice president, David Hayum, who is located in the company’s New York City headquarters.
