NEW YORK, NY – The New York office of HFF (Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P.) announced today that it arranged a $90 million refinancing for 401 West 14th Street, (above centered photo) a 62,199-square-foot retail and office building in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District. (top right map)

Working exclusively on behalf of the owner, a partnership comprised of affiliates of Taconic Investment Partners, LLC and ING Clarion Partners, HFF managing director Evan Pariser and senior real estate analyst Todd Newman placed the five-year, adjustable-rate loan with Landesbank Hessen-Thuringen Girozentrale (Helaba).

Originally constructed in 1927, 401 West 14th Street has undergone major redevelopment and repositioning since it was acquired by the owners in 2005 including the addition of a 9,000-square-foot penthouse and a complete renovation of the base building. The four-story, Class A property is currently 100% leased to Apple Inc., Hugo Boss Retail Inc., Moschino and Tudor Investment Corporation.

The anchor tenant, Apple, Inc., leases a portion of the ground floor and the entire second and third floors, as well as the rooftop billboard.
