Newmark tallies $500M in loans in 2015

Newmark Holdings announced the total tally of the company’s financing transactions in 2015 was $500 Million.

The firm closed a total of 11 loan transactions over the course of the year, much of it earmarked to refinance and upgrade legacy properties in their 10 million square foot portfolio as well as fund new acquisitions.

The announcement was made by principals Eric Gural and Brian Steinwurtzel of Newmark Holdings.

“The overall success of Newmark Holdings and volume of financing transactions throughout 2015 was truly a team effort on the part of all our professionals. This was a banner year for the company in terms of validating the growing value of the portfolio,” said Gural.

Added Steinwurtzel, “The low-risk financing we have secured is all part of our overall strategy to expand our growing portfolio throughout the New York metro area as well as enhance the profitability of our assets through continued capital improvements. These upgrades speak to the importance we place on asset management and have also led to the continued successful leasing of the office and retail space we own.”

  • $150 million loan to refinance 40 Worth Street, a 16-story, 702,815-square-foot building located in Tribeca
