MRC Provides $55M Loan for Morningside Heights Student Housing
Madison Realty Capital has provided a $55-million bridge loan to Charney Companies and Criterion Real Estate Capital for the acquisition and renovation of 99 Claremont Avenue, a student housing project in Morningside Heights. The developer group plans to renovate the 92-year-old, 7-story property into luxury student housing for nearby colleges and universities.
“We are pleased to provide flexible financing to a well-capitalized and highly experienced developer group to deliver a purpose-built luxury housing product that will serve college students in a historically supply-constrained market,” said Josh Zegen, managing principal and co-founder of Madison Realty Capital.
“The opportunity to restore a historic, irreplaceable 92-year-old building with all the beauty that 99 Claremont offers, while providing critically needed best-in-class student housing to NYC is a tremendous one,” said Sam Charney, principal of Charney Companies.
