Eastern Union Arranges $72 Million in Construction Financing For 117-Unit, Luxury Condo Development in Long Island City in Queens, NY

NEW YORK , Aug. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Chaim Greenfeld, a vice president with Eastern Union, has secured $72 million in construction financing toward the development of a 117-unit luxury condo in Long Island City in Queens, NY.

Eastern Union, based in New York, is one of America's largest providers of commercial mortgage brokerage and capital markets advisory services.

The 19-story property, at 24-01 Queens Plaza North, will encompass 119,625 square feet in size. The project is located at Queens Plaza, directly across from the Queensboro Bridge. The architect is ODA New York. The condo will include dozens of recessed balconies and cantilevered floors, as well as 1,828 square feet of commercial space.    

Naftali Credit Partners provided a mezzanine loan in the amount of $18 million to the owner of the new condo, New Empire Corporation. Naftali Credit Partners also structured and syndicated the senior position to Axos Bank for a total of $72 million in financing.

"It's always challenging to find the right lender in today's market, especially when it comes to securing construction financing for a luxury condo project like this," said Mr. Greenfeld. "In this case, it was helpful that Eastern Union had existing relationships both with the lender and the developer."
