The Sapir Organization has closed on a financing package totaling approximately $326 million for 260 and 261 Madison Ave. which sit across the street from each other between East 38th and East 39th streets. The loan was made at an approximately 65% loan to value.

The Sapir Organization was represented by Chris M. Smith and Nicola Housie-Kingham of DLA Piper. The deal was led internally by CFO Charles Hillock and Ryan Marcus, VP, Legal & Compliance.
