NEW YORK, NY –– Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announces the closing of a $260 million construction loan for 202 Broome Street at Essex Crossing in Manhattan.

The HFF team worked on behalf of the borrower, a joint venture between Taconic Investment Partners, L+M Development Partners, BFC Partners and Goldman Sachs Urban Investment Group, to secure the 42-month construction loan through Square Mile Capital Management LLC.

Essex Crossing is one of the most significant urban renewal developments in the history of Manhattan. 

Construction began in spring 2015 and upon completion, the nine sites will total more than 1,000 residences, 450,000 square feet of retail and 400,000 square feet of office space alongside community attractions and green space.

202 Broome Street is scheduled for delivery in 2020 and will consist of a 16-story mixed-use building with 179,234 square feet of Class A office space, 36,888 square feet of retail space and 83 luxury condominiums. 

The condominiums, located on floors six through 13, will consist of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom units, with nearly 30 percent featuring private outdoor space. 

 The sixth floor will also offer a common roof terrace for condominium owners with sweeping views in all directions.

202 Broome Street will also contain a portion of the Market Line, a below-grade, world-class marketplace spanning three city blocks that will feature a food hall, various large and small businesses and will be anchored by the historic Essex Street Market. 

Essex Crossing is situated within walking distance of the Williamsburg Bridge and benefits from superior access to transportation with J, Z, F and M train service at the Essex Street Station and B/D train service at Grand Street.

The HFF debt placement team representing the borrower included senior managing directors Evan Pariser and Michael Gigliotti, managing director Scott Aiese, associate Alex Staikos and analyst Jackie Ferrer.
