GFP Secures $60M Refi for 200 Varick St.

GFP Real Estate has closed on a $60,000,000 loan from Apple Bank to refinance 200 Varick St., a 12-story, 490,000-square-foot office building in Hudson Square. The new 10-year, 3.50% fixed-rate loan matures in 2032, is interest-only for the first year—and replaces an existing $56,000,000, 3.538% loan whose balance had been amortized from $70,000,000.

Paul Talbot, senior managing director of Newmark, represented GFP in securing the loan.

“As a result of our strong relationship with Apple Bank, we were able to arrange for the defeasance of the previous loan while simultaneously coordinating and closing the new one,” said Talbot. “This allowed GFP Real Estate to lock in a great interest rate and execute everything seamlessly.”

Major tenants at the 91% leased 200 Varick include AHRC New York City and the Omnicom Group. The property has seen more than 55,000 square feet in new leases over the past year
