Meridian Capital Group Arranges $127 Million in Construction Financing for the Redevelopment of One Prospect Park West on Behalf of Sugar Hill Capital Partners

March 28, 2018

Meridian Capital Group, America’s most active dealmaker, arranged $127 million in construction financing for the redevelopment of One Prospect Park West, a multifamily property in Brooklyn, NY on behalf of Sugar Hill Capital Partners.

The loan was provided by Mack Real Estate Credit Strategies and was negotiated by Meridian Senior Managing Director, Ronnie Levine, Vice President, Shamir Seidman and Vice President, Ben Jacobs, who are all based in the company’s New York City headquarters. 

“Meridian previously arranged the acquisition financing for One Prospect Park West and is proud to again have represented Sugar Hill Capital Partners in negotiating financing for this transformative project” said Mr. Levine.

One Prospect Park West is a nine-story mixed-use building located on the prized northwest corner of Prospect Park in Brooklyn, NY. The pre-war building is the largest structure on Prospect Park West and Sugar Hill Capital Partners plans to restore the property to its original grandeur.

One Prospect Park West’s desirable location offers future residents direct access to Brooklyn’s burgeoning cultural renaissance and is in close proximity to neighborhood attractions such as the Brooklyn Public Library, Brooklyn Botanic Garden and the Brooklyn Museum, in addition to Prospect Park. The property also benefits from Park Slope’s nearby sprawling historic district, which features a multitude of cuisine options and an impressive collection of libraries, museums, and public events. Additionally, One Prospect Park West is presently zoned for elementary school PS 321. This location also provides for an easy commute to Manhattan via the 2 and 3 subway lines at the Grand Army Plaza station and the B and Q lines from 7th Avenue.
