Madison Realty Capital Provides $66 Million of Financing for Commercial Properties in Thriving Center of Flushing

NEW YORK, Nov. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Madison Realty Capital (MRC), an institutionally backed real estate investment firm focused on real estate equity and debt investments in the middle markets, announced the closing of $66.0 million of financing for a 100,500-square-foot retail and office property, a 24,000-square-foot retail condominium, and an 88-car parking garage in Flushing, Queens.

The properties are located adjacent to one another at the corner of Main Street and Sanford Avenue, in the heart of Flushing's thriving commercial center.  MRC was able to analyze the underlying value across multiple property types in order to structure a customized financing solution, which enabled the borrower to recapitalize the properties from the special servicer who was managing the assets.  41-60 Main Street is a premier 3-story mixed-use office and retail building located in the epicenter of Flushing, Queens.

The property boasts 250 feet of frontage along Main Street in Flushing and has a tenant base comprised of credit worthy tenants which include national banks as well as insurance companies.  The building benefits from high occupancy driven by attractive supply / demand dynamics which characterize the local submarket.  The retail condominium at 133-38 Sanford Avenue consists of 24,000 square feet evenly distributed over two floors, ceiling heights in excess of 11-feet and direct access to Main Street which will provide additional foot traffic.

Josh Zegen, Co-Founder and Managing Principal of MRC, made the announcement.

"We are adept at assessing complex real estate situations with various asset types and complicated financial structures.  This recapitalization opportunity is a prime example of how MRC can utilize its fully integrated team to quickly analyze multiple assets and structure a financial solution for a borrower," said Zegen.  "We have analyzed the Flushing market extensively and feel that it is among New York's strongest, and these commercial assets are perfectly positioned to benefit from their stellar location at one of Flushing's busiest corners."

The properties are centrally located in an active section of downtown Flushing, Queens.  The area has seen significant business and job growth for several years, with real estate sales and rental pricing strengthening as a result.  Flushing is also in the immediate vicinity of attractions like Citi Field and the USTA's National Tennis Center, which attract tourist traffic to the market.

Zegen added, "We remain bullish on Queens and continue to seek other similar investment opportunities.  Flushing is one of the most sought after neighborhoods in Queens given its incredible small business growth, diversity, great proximity to transportation, retail, and overall convenience."
