NEW YORK, May 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Madison Realty Capital (MRC), an institutionally backed commercial real estate investment fund and asset manager specializing in flexible debt and equity financing solutions for middle-market transactions throughout the United States, announced the completion of five separate financing and note purchase transactions totaling $25.6 million. The transactions involved properties located in Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan.

Joshua Zegen, Co-Founder and Managing Member of MRC, made the announcement.

"This series of recent transactions in New York highlights our activity in the market, both as a note purchaser and as a provider of flexible financing for complex, time-sensitive real estate deals," Mr. Zegen said. "Note sellers and borrowers understand that we provide certainty of execution, experience, and discretion, and we've been able to develop a significant pipeline of quality transactions as a result."

Direct Note Purchases - aggregate principal balance approximately $11 million

• MRC purchased 3 non-performing senior notes for a principal balance of approximately $5.7 million, which are/were secured by multifamily and industrial properties in Park Slope, Brooklyn; Woodside, Queens; and West Harlem in Manhattan. The note seller is a community savings bank.

• MRC purchased a non-performing senior loan (change to note to be consistent) with a principal balance of approximately $5.3 million, which is secured by an 80,000-square-foot office building with a retail component, located near the new Brooklyn Nets basketball arena. The note seller is a local savings bank.

Bridge/Note Purchase Financing - aggregate loan amount totaling $14.6 million

• MRC provided $3.75 million of financing to a third-party purchaser of the $5.2 million note on a 45,000-square-foot industrial property in Long Island City, Queens. The property has additional 45,000 square feet of residential-zoned air rights. Long Island City has been rezoned for residential development and is undergoing a transformation similar to the one in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

• MRC provided a $3.85 million bridge loan for a 50,000-square-foot medical office and retail property on Flatbush Avenue in the Lefferts Garden section of Brooklyn. The financing permitted the borrower to obtain a discounted payoff of existing debt and simultaneously emerge from bankruptcy.

• MRC provided a $7.0 million bridge loan for an 11,700-square-foot retail property in Queens, which will be occupied by a CVS Pharmacy. The financing enabled the borrower to repurchase its debt at a discount and complete construction.
