JLL worked on behalf of the borrower, Botanic Properties, to secure the fixed-rate acquisition financing through MSD Partners.

The three-story, 97,047-rentable-square-foot property is currently 100% leased to Apex Technical School. Apex Technical School has occupied the property since 2012.

The building is in the Queensboro Plaza and Court Square neighborhood, which is home to young professionals and families and is proximate to a variety of dining, entertainment and cultural amenities.

The area offers numerous commuting options to Manhattan and the rest of New York City, with the F, N, W, 7, E, M, G and R trains all within walking distance.

The JLL Capital Markets team representing the borrower was led by Senior Managing Director Christopher Peck, Managing Director Steve Klein and Vice President Thomas Pryor.
