Marathon Asset Management Secures Major Loan for NYC Luxury Project

Marathon Asset Management Secures Major Loan for Luxury Development
Marathon Asset Management’s Commercial Real Estate platform has successfully originated a significant $120 million construction loan for 125 Perry Street, an ultra-luxury residential development in Manhattan's distinguished West Village. This achievement signals an important step in developing a project that strives to meet and exceed the already high expectations for luxury condominiums in one of New York City's most desired areas.
The Development Overview
The project will involve transforming a historic 1930s vintage parking garage into a remarkable seven-unit ultra-luxury condominium. This innovative approach not only preserves the original industrial facade but also adds modern flair to the structure. The finished development will include two penthouses, two townhouse-style apartments, and three loft-style residences. Due to rising demand, nearly 60 percent of the units have been contracted even before completion, setting records for some of the highest price per square foot sales in the history of New York City developments.
Collaborative Efforts
Leading this venture is Marathon's Commercial Real Estate Team, under the guidance of Managing Director Joseph Griffin. They have worked in close collaboration with the project sponsor, Alf Naman Development, along with their preferred equity partner, Ascendant Capital Partners, to arrange and secure funding for this transformative project.
Key Features and Amenities
The upcoming development will provide a range of outstanding amenities aimed at enhancing residents' lifestyles. Features will include a doorman service, a fitness center, a dedicated pickleball court, luxurious spa facilities, a sauna, and a limited number of parking spots. Moreover, the top floors are designed to offer stunning views of the Empire State Building and the Midtown skyline.
