$1.2B Refi Completed for SL Green’s, Vornado’s 280 Park Ave

New York-based SL Green Realty Corp. and Vornado Realty Trust closed a $1.2-billion refinancing of 280 Park Avenue, a 1.25-million-square-foot Manhattan office building that is held by the companies in a joint venture. The 43-story tower occupies a full block on Park Avenue, from 48th to 49th Street.

The floating rate, interest-only loan carries a rate of LIBOR plus 1.73%, currently 2.97%, and matures in September 2024, as extended. The loan replaces the previous $900 million of indebtedness that bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.00%, scheduled to mature in May 2023.

The refinancing comes after the lease up of the Midtown building to roughly 97%, including the addition of the 19,000-square-foot Four Seasons restaurant, and following a $150-million transformational redesign and renovation of the building’s facade and interior.
