NEW YORK, Jan. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In a market beset with stubbornly high interest rates, Eastern Union -- one of America's largest commercial real estate brokerages -- placed and closed loans with 121 lenders in 2024.

The company's portfolio of loans last year included financing from 31 new lenders.

In 2024, the company added a sixth office in 2024 in Denver, CO, joining existing offices in Brooklyn, NY, Woodmere, NY, Chestnut Ridge, NY, Howell NJ and Bethesda, MD.

Among the year's standout transactions, Eastern Union secured $72 million in construction financing toward development of a 117-unit luxury condo in Long Island City in Queens, NY. The transaction was arranged by Chaim Greenfeld, a company vice president.

Eastern Union also closed on a $51.5-million refinancing package for a self-storage complex in Virginia Beach, VA. The transaction was led by David Merkin, a senior managing director with the firm's Mid-Atlantic Group.
