SL Green in Talks to Sell Mezz Debt

SL Green Realty Corp. is in advanced discussions to sell at least three loans attached to New York properties to bolster its cash balance, Crain’s New York Business reported. The REIT has tapped NKF and Eastdil Secured to market at least eight loans as it seeks to shore up its balance sheet.

The company is in talks to sell a $71.5-million mezzanine position backing Brooklyn’s Industry City to CIM Group and a $25-million loan tied to 95 Morton St., an office building in the West Village. It is also in advanced discussions with Kushner Cos. about a $30-million mezz loan on 365 Bond St., a residential property in Brooklyn.

Although the pricing on the loans wasn’t clear, the levels being discussed are below par, according to sources familiar with the discussions. SL Green announced last month that its $815-million sale of the News Building in Midtown had fallen through.
