Office Condo Sale at 12 MetroTech Garners $106M Financing

Cushman & Wakefield arranged $106 million in acquisition financing for the office condominium at 12 MetroTech Center in Downtown Brooklyn. 60 Guilders purchased the office condominium for $128 million. 

A Cushman & Wakefield Equity, Debt & Structured Finance team of Gideon Gil, Lauren Kaufman, Steve Kohn and Alex Hernandez arranged the five-year, interest-only loan through Starwood Property Trust on 60 Guilders’ behalf. Reportedly it’s one of the largest office financings to close in Brooklyn since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.  

Doug Harmon, Adam Spies, Adam Doneger, Dan O’Brien, Rachel Humphrey and Meaghan Philbin of Cushman & Wakefield’s capital markets team brokered the sale of the asset. 

“This transaction represented an exceptional opportunity for lenders given the sponsorship profile, creditworthy tenants and long-term leases,” said Gil. “Despite recent uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic, lenders were ultimately attracted to the property’s secure cash flow, lengthy remaining lease term and best-in-class sponsorship.”
